A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Not easily, the compiler version is swapped in via AGP which assumes the project is Android (not Desktop), and we fake out some Android APIs to make the apps run because we still have some modules that aren't fully/properly generalized.  Also, most things don't yet draw properly; we're literally just merging Desktop support for Text and Images.  It's not yet ready for public consumption, still in an experimental/research stage.

Thanks Jim, it's great to see this kind of updates. Is there any plan to apply the AGP changes to Multiplaform plugin, or at least to provide a documented method of doing so?

The plan is to make Compose not depend on a custom build of Kotlin, and then the "hard part" of what AGP is doing is no longer necessary.  But yes, we fully intend to make simpler, just need to knock out a few dependencies first.
