A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

what's the recommended acronym? I've seen both "KMP" and "KMM"

I don't think there's a recommended acronym, these are two different things, no? Kotlin Multiplatform and Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile

They're _kinda_ different, in that there is a dedicated "KMM" IntelliJ Plugin specifically for using KMP on both Android and iOS

I’d say KMM is a subset of KMP (with the Android Studio plugin being the only very specific “KMM” piece of tooling)

Yeah, maybe I’d throw in the Cocoapods Gradle Plugin under KMM too, but KMM to me is basically “KMP minus JS and desktop native targets”

Yeah, well, Cocoapods minus Macos, but we’re really in the weeds at that point…

after I asked the question, I thought it might be "KMM is mobile-only". I might generally use "KMP" in case I want to later add web to my project :slightly_smiling_face:

(though that would definitely be a bit later for me)
