I think kotlin multiplatform and compose multiplatform should given a new name. KMP and CMP are the same but also different. Kotlin Multiplatform and compose multiplatform sounds mouthfull when writing it on other platforms.

I think that's why we say CMP and KMP 😛
Personally I just say kotlin and compose. Most people don't care or need to hear the multiple platform part.

When you say kotlin, most people just think only android

Is that a problem? People have biased beliefs about everything. If it really matters in the context say multiplatform but I imagine most of the time it doesn't really matter. We use Kotlin internally all over the place. Far more backend than Android. If you're using it for other purposes people will eventually understand or they won't, both are fine.

Not really a problem. But it may help upcoming devs to simplify things. Like when you say flutter or Django you know exactly what it means
