if I compile a library with the IR backend, can non IR projects use that library?

as of 1.3.40, yes

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

one of the big features in 1.4.30 was that the IR backend now generates “stable” bytecode that is consumable from non-IR backends

You mean 1.4.30 right

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

🤦 yes, i always type that wrong

[christophsturm]

ok so 1.4.30 generates bytecode that even kotlinc from before 1.4.30 can use?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

yep, it just looks like regular ol’ java bytecode
