A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Somebody needs to develop a compiler-enforced inspection that would reject malicious apps during compilation :troll:

Is this another measurement of programming language success “When malware authors use your language…“?

I wonder if Kotlin-Native will be useful for pen-testing, like Python.

<@U2E974ELT> Don't stop there, the compiler also needs to check for bait-and-switch rickrolling.

You know your lang is legit when it's used to develop malware. The gold standard is when a trojan is made.

Will a feature be added to the Kotlin compiler to automatically remove ads? :laughing:

Honestly, you guys laugh, but I would really like to work on writing symbolic executors to find code-paths to detect shtuff like this. We do have the technology, we just need some faster data structures and faster hardware to run it in a reasonable deployment package such that google/microsoft/apple can detect these kinds of things for all applications submitted to them.
