kotlinlang

Is it possible to use `kotlinc` programatically? I’d like to compile a kotlin class from a kotlin source file in a JVM app at runtime.

Obviously I can fork a real kotlinc external process, but I’d rather do it in the same JVM process if possible. If only for ease of deployment.

Besides that, you could also consider using the scripting support

The scripting might meet my needs… I basically want to have a data class compiled in my app that my app uses, but load a file that defines an instance of that data class at startup. So I need my app to be on the compile time classpath when the file is compiled. Scripting might do that for me.

Scripting works perfectly, thanks <@U0152P3VB5J>.
