It seems that despite kotlin.collections.mutableSetOf is available on all platforms, it's not possible to access it from commonMain—why is that?

[Kris Wong]

this function is included in stdlib-common

[Chilli]

Seems that my commonMain doesn't have stdlib-common in its dependencies — can I safely add it in Gradle?

[Chilli]

Should it be implementation or api?

[Kris Wong]

well that depends, do you know the difference? 🙂

[Chilli]

Not really 😆
I'm just getting started with Gradle and Kotlin

Thanks!

almost definitely implementation for the stdlib

[ilya.gorbunov]

@spierce7 why so? Almost every Kotlin library exposes types from the standard library in its API.
Though it's only important for libraries, for programs it doesn't matter, api or implementation.
