A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

guys - i convinved my company to write a big piece of their app in kotlin/js and we are going to release soon - everything is working fine, but I am scared - did I make a big mistake :/

If everything is working fine, why do you think you've made a mistake?

Write some more rigorous testing if you're worried. What is your stack on your project?

<@U7C2KH7E1> what exactly are you scared of? In my experience putting your fears into words often helps.

I'm all ears for your technical concerns. You can either voice them here, or message me directly.

If that makes you fell any better, there is a number of companies running significant Kotlin/JS code bases in production, including JetBrains itself. It is true that Kotlin/JS isn't perfect and has a number of dark corners. But most of them are known and could be successfully dealt with. We are here to help you do that if needed.

So please do talk about your concerns. We are also interested in learning about your use case - which features you do use, what is lacking, etc.

P.S. Good luck with the release! Hope everything goes well. :-)

I am primarily fearful because Kotlin MP is experimental and this will be our first release that uses it. Our stack uses Android, Common, and Kotlin/JS to create and talk across a webview uses webmessages

Thank you! Will let you all know how it goes!

this is an explanation of it if anyone has any feedback <http://whereisdarran.com/2020/03/from-apache-cordova-to-kotlin-multiplatform/>

Interesting! I forwarded this link to our MPP team just in case they didn't have Cordova plugins in mind. Personally I don't see any issue with the design. Also I think the MPP functionality you are going to use is pretty stable. (<@U2SG23BPU> could you take a look?)

Also I think it would make sense to share your design in the <#C3PQML5NU|multiplatform> channel as well :slightly_smiling_face:

<@U7C2KH7E1> You're fine. Just make sure you've moved up and out of that project in a few years :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

<@UUK1B07A5> that's a pretty nice link and well written. I'll agree with Steve tho, just yeet out of the way after a bit

It's what the person who switched AirBnB to React Native probably did. I doubt their switching away from it after a few years hurt their career.

we were using cordova and now we are migrating to kotlin multiplatform

the humor is great :slightly_smiling_face:

It's definitely nice seeing the growth in Kotlin Multiplatform in the last few years
