Some interesting findings have come out of the Eclipse IoT survey, which would affect how IoT is approached with Kotlin. One key finding is that ARMv8 devices are gaining ground, and have for the first time overtaken ARMv6 devices. An important implication of this is the need to have a Kotlin Native compiler for Linux ARMv8. Having this compiler would make it significantly easier to do development with the Linux ARM targets (linuxArm64 and linuxArm32Hfp), especially when combined with an IDE like Fleet ( https://www.jetbrains.com/help/fleet/install-on-a-remote-machine.html#628d8f04 ). Sure, one can do cross compilation to cover the Linux ARM targets, however that is often a painful experience.
