Is arrow meta now ready to be used in mpp context with IR?

Hi @Big Chungus, You can use it for Backend IR but the frontend IR is still not there. The kotlin compiler got the extension point for FIR in main recently so the frontend part is not ready yet.

What are the implications for it? False-positive errors in IDE?

[raulraja]

yes, for the most part means IDE does not know about your plugin until you run a full gradle build

[Big Chungus]

Right, so if I only use it to rewrite the bodies of some functions without changing their API, lack of FIR is irrelevant to me, correct?

[raulraja]

if you just wanna rewrite bodies to change their behavior you can do that with just backend IR today and don’t need FIR.

AFAIK FIR won’t come out with the ability to alter bodies out of the box either
