10/23/2020, 6:21 PMI’m writing a Kotlin Native app. programs will be run on many different architectures including mac/darwin x86_64, to linux x86_64, and even raspberry pi armv6/7. Are there any good libraries out there for file access yet? Basically I’m looking for something that takes the place of the java based stuff that we have in regular kotlin.
