I think a bigger challenge than just working with Skia in KN would be working with all the possible windowing toolkits which are different for each OS, compared to currently using JVM with Swing, which works on all OSs

12/21/2020, 6:05 PMI understand that it will be very difficult, however, there are many developers out there looking for a native multi-platform UI toolkit, and I think Kotlin/Native and especially Compose would be a great solution for them. Of course, I also understand that there are other priorities right now, thanks for the clarification!
