Please, could it eliminate the need for using jlink to produce executables on the desktop, for example?

[Tijl]

well this would be a very first step, this just fixes the @Compose annotation, K/N doesn’t have any UI yet then

none the less that is really cool, since you can use it for all kinds of interesting stuff

[Glen]

Nice. Thanks.

@Glen removing jlink/jdk and AOT compiling the whole compose desktop will be very huge and complex task. That will require AOT compile whole JDK and supporting it’s dynamic capabilities, which is what GraalVM native-image trying to solve for last few years. By the way, what i have seen is, you are not going to get much benefits AOT compiling desktop applications except for startup time (depending on your app).

[Glen]

Thanks for the response.

This is just a beginning of K/N Compose story, but we’re looking forward to have it eventually.

Compose UI Everywhere, Kotlin Everywhere, reliability and maintainability anywhere!
Oh, and most importantly, fun anywhere!
