Hi, I'm learning kotlin. Is it possible to use Apple's Metal with kotlin native ? I see openGL and Metal as an exemple of "nativity" for kotlin but I can't find any more than that

#compose-desktop supports it via jvm

[Laurent Laborde]

metal via jvm ? weird, but I'll take a look. thx 🙂

You can access almost all built-in Objective-C APIs including Metal, CoreML and many more.
Swift code is not accessible, only if exported/bridged to Objective-C.

Brief update: What you do not get for free with Kotlin is of course nice shader support and compilation 😉

[Laurent Laborde]

awww. Thx 🙂
