I was wondering if it was possible to access kotlin code from a python environment without too much overhead in wrapping the stuff from the python side?!
The application I am considering is an algorithm library in kotlin used in production for android / desktop / potentially iOS that our partners and us also want to use in research contexts where python is the weapon of choice. I saw this https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/tree/master/samples/python_extension but the wrapping stuff on the c-side seems too much overhead for now...Any thoughts?

Thanks 🙂
