Hello there! What is the roadmap for Kotlin Multiplatform? Is it realistic to expect it stable in production within a year?

What do you mean by "stable in production"?

They're listed as experimental for 1.3 which for Jetbrains means that it is good enough for end users to use but will likely change before becoming stable. The current incarnation of MPP works well except for some corner cases. That is supposed to be addressed in a newer version called Hierarchical MPP. I don't know when that is due out. You can use the current MPP implementation in a production project as many are already doing. Just be aware that at some point you will need to rework your build scripts and possibly move some files around to get it to work with HMPP.

As a hint on stability, have a look on Kotlinkonf’s lineup, there are a quite a lot talks about companies reporting about MPP projects

@Sam Hi, where can I find more info about Hierarchical MPP? I don't see any docs about the item.
