Quick question, is there any K/Mp implementation of WeakReference?

[Dico]

Look at http://github.com/touchlab/stately

[Jan Stoltman]

As far as I know there is no WeakReference in Stately

[Jan Stoltman]

There is only AtomicReference

[Jan Stoltman]

I wrote my own implementation, most likely I will post it somewhere if there is no better alternative available

[kpgalligan]

I could add one. Assume the implementation is pretty straightforward?

[Jan Stoltman]

I can only speak for jvm and native, but yeah just a few lines of code

[louiscad]

There's one already in Kotlin/Native

[kpgalligan]

For common code

[louiscad]

It seems JS doesn't support weak references natively, so you'll be able to create a common definition only if you don't support JS, or don't need weak reference on JS target.

[kpgalligan]

Yeah, it’s an issue
