10/30/2019, 6:41 AMas i try to match what i know to Arrow, it keeps recurring to me that i might be wasting my time if i want kotlin-mpp, though "pure" functional code and idioms is definitely a good thing to have. but knowing this, and settling for JVM to get work done, does arrow make a good intro to native languages mentioned in here that are purportedly more productive?

10/31/2019, 12:38 PMArrow will be published for JVM, JS and Native and each version will include any necessary runtime. In practice this is accomplished by using the IR backend once it’s ready in the Kotlin compiler and just removing our current runtime deps on the JVM.
