What's the difference between stdlib and stdlib-common?

[h0tk3y]

The former is the JVM artifact of the standard library that appeared long before the MPP was ever conceived so it's called just that. The stdlib-common is the Kotlin metadata artifact of the standard library that should be used as a dependency for sources targeting multiple platforms. There's also kotlin-stdlib-js for JS, but Kotlin/Native has a built-in standard library, so no separate artifact exists for Native targets.
