P.S. Do you think that the library should be renamed? Leave a comment here or in the discussion

This isn't sanctioned by Jetbrains, is it? Because my understanding is that having kotlin in the library name is only allowed for first-party libraries.

[Oleg Yukhnevich]

It’s not an official JetBrains library, if that’s what are you asking for :)
It’s my personal project, which was started before I was even started working at JetBrains
And I don’t think, that there are limitations on naming:
• https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-kotlin
• https://github.com/square/kotlinpoet
• https://github.com/ExpediaGroup/graphql-kotlin
• https://github.com/mockito/mockito-kotlin
Also there is no Kotlin in module and package names :)

[Youssef Shoaib [MOD]]

Yeah maybe I'm dumb. I heard that somewhere before, but thanks for clarifying!

[Stefan Oltmann]

I think what you mean applies to the „kotlinx-„ prefix.

[Stefan Oltmann]

Thanks for making this great library! I already use it in three of my apps. 🙂 🙏🏻

[Stefan Oltmann]

Did you make the lib for your resume, so they hire you? 😄

not really 🙂

(Below goes a small history of how CK appeared from one Slack message)

At one moment, I was just curious about the possibilities of Kotlin Multiplatform
So I tried to gather use cases to experiment with cryptography in Kotlin - at this point, I did not have a lot of knowledge about cryptography, and also had no idea that this one message will start such a big project for me 🫣
A year later - first release (more than 2 years ago already... time flies)

As for the "resume" project, I need to say thanks to ffi-kotlin, because of it, I had contact with some JetBrains employees from the Kotlin team kodee happy
