05/07/2020, 8:42 PMhey there, is anyone interested in doing some “Kotlin Multiplatform beginner live-coding” for GDG Nuremberg, Germany on 26th Mai at 6pm CEST? We’d like to compare Kotlin Multiplatform and Flutter during the early stages of a popular hackathon in Nuremberg and might therefore influence the technology the developers use to start their projects. Any evangelist who’s feeling called here?

I strongly believe in the Kotlin multiplatform future but now the best route is to do UI in platform native code and have business logic in Kotlin Native. And in its current state to go not well informed in iOS interoperability on a hackathon would leave more people frustrated than enlightened I guess. A lot of libraries are in their infancy. With faster compilers, better suspending methods support in upcoming 1.4, or even a Jetpack compose that possibly supports iOS would make that argument against Flutter to hack something together way easier.
Flutter on the other side would enable you of course to do a lot inside its Dart sandbox until you really have to cooperate with native platform code..

05/08/2020, 7:58 AMthe point of @Jurriaan Mous is true, but I think there is a difference of focus here, Flutter is more focused on the UI side, like the definition of Flutter says:
Flutter is Google's UI toolkit for building beautiful, natively compiled applications for mobile, web, and desktop from a single codebase.share the common logic between the platformsmagnumrocha
