@Ruckus It uses JSR-223, I'm pretty sure it is locked to the JVM (at least for now)

[ilya.chernikov]

It sort of vice-versa. Scripting infrastructure in kotlin does not use JSR-223. But JSR-223 implementation, of course, using underlined scripting infrastructure.
But the support is now limited to the JVM, correct.

[Ruckus]

Ah, interesting. Is there any plan to eventually make it available for other platforms as well?

[Ruckus]

Also, does that mean there's a way to use scripting on the JVM bypassing the JSR-223 implementation? (Not that I would want to, I'm just curious.)

[ilya.chernikov]

Yes, eventually. Unfortunately there are quite many technical issues on the way, so the timeframe is totally unclear now.

[ilya.chernikov]

Yes, most of the discussions in this channel are about usages without JSR-223.

[Ruckus]

Okay, cool. I'll have to dig into it more. I've just recently started looking into it for use with a project I'm working on, though I'm having a hard time finding information on where to start. I guess I'll just have to read through the history of this channel when I get enough time.

[ilya.chernikov]

Or start with scripting examples in the kotlin repo, libraries/examples/scripting.

[Ruckus]

Oh, duh. I noticed in the KEEP it references libraries/samples/scripting/, but I couldn't find that path, so I assumed I was looking at the wrong repo. I didn't even think to look in examples instead. 🤦‍♂️

[Ruckus]

Thanks 🙂

[ilya.chernikov]

Oh, sorry, thanks for pointing out. I need to fix the KEEP.

[Nikky]

i have a small repo with a example of how to implement scripting host and script definitions: https://github.com/NikkyAI/MinimalScriptingExample

[Nikky]

i think it can give you a idea of where to start and fele free to ask questions

[Ruckus]

@Nikky Yeah, I actually have your repo bookmarked right next to the KEEP, I just haven't found the time to actually start looking it through. When I do, I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions 🙂

[Nikky]

this is the newest project i am working on: https://github.com/DaemonicLabs/KNote with @amanda.hinchman-dominguez i use a few even fancier tricks with kotlin-scripting

[Nikky]

some of that i intend to add examples to the minimalScriptingExample, but its hard to add something too complex and still have it make sense

[Ruckus]

Nice, I'll have to look through that one more. I've looked into it very briefly in the past when you've mentioned it in #tornadofx.

[amanda.hinchman-dominguez]

It's coming along! I wish life didn't keep getting in the way I want to work on it all the time. I'm in the process of adding csv files for viewing
