Kotlin 1.4 M2 released, Ktor support for native-mt coroutines Coming soon™️

[e5l]

We have problems to build kotlinx.coroutines native-mt with 1.4-M2 kotlin right now. So the ktor native-mt will be delayed 😞 I'm really sorry.

[aleksey.tomin]

Is client/server for native inside now?

[e5l]

The client only, and the server is coming

[rudolf.hladik]

thx for the update

[napperley]

Will Ktor server for Kotlin Native only cover the linuxX64 target, or will it also cover the Linux ARM targets?

[napperley]

Is Ktor Client going to cover the Linux ARM targets?

[napperley]

Note that the Raspberry PI now has a 8 GB RAM version ( https://www.raspberrypi.org/weekly/ta-da-the-8gb-raspberry-pi-4-has-landed/ ). Will be a matter of time before the Linux ARM 64 platform becomes very important to cover with Ktor Client and Server.

Kotlin coroutines don't support linux arm 64 and arm 32 yet, so they would need to support it first. Which takes you to kotlinx atomicuFu which also needs to support arm before coroutines. I think I saw an issue on github assigned recently to someone

But no significant progress yet, https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.coroutines/issues/855

Unfortunately the missing KotlinX Coroutines library is the main stumbling block 😦 . There might be other stumbling blocks that have yet to reveal themselves.
