A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

<@U5ALL5JCE> my understanding is that the latest standard library version should work with all code compiled against 1.0 or higher

pniederw: Except that pre 1.1 stdlib depended on runtime lib as a separate dependency, so there are duplicate classes when you depend std lib 1.1 and on library that depends on 1.0 stdlib.

yeah that’s a pitfall, but easy to fix once you understand it

I would prefer stdlib and runtime stayed separate.

Writing a lib in Kotlin that doesn't use anything from stdlib is not easily possible.

Assuming one would prefer not to have dependency on stdlib in that case, e.g. writing lib for potential Android Java users.

I have done it and it is damn near impossible for some things. Ended up converting some stuff to Java just to avoid the stdlib
