Hey guys, Kotlin MPP doesn't work very well with reflection right now, right?

Iirc JS support for reflection is very sparse, and native doesn’t support it at all

Do you know if there's any ETA on reflections? Or maybe a roadmap I can keep track of this?

Based on threads on the forum, it seems unlikely that K/N will support reflection in any meaningful way. Unless the team have changed their minds over the course of the last year and a half, I wouldn’t get your hopes up

I wanted to use reflection in a MPP lib, that's why

Runtime size, binary size, optimizations. The reasons not to support reflection. What’s your use-case for reflection, tho? What are you trying to achieve?

I miss reflection support for retrofit and mocks

Retrofit needs proxies. That’s very limited use-case. We plan to provide that in the future via a compiler plugin in multi-platform way, so that you will not need reflection for that.

What about things like KType?

Cross-platform KType is coming. You’ll have

typeOf<reified T>()

intrinsic function in stdlib that returns

KType

and works on all platforms.

That's awesome!
