A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hi folks! I wonder if someone in this chat uses Kotlin/Native arm32/arm64 target to compile code for Android. If yes - could you please share your case with me in direct messages - or here in the thread? Thanks!

I do :man-raising-hand: is there anything specific that you want to know?

Can’t say it’s something specific, I’d just like to know more about your case - what you’re implementing with it and why you choose K/N instead of “traditional” Kotlin/JVM way.

We wanted a native companion for our JVM code to get stronger code obfuscation, communicate directly with native libraries and just prepare the ground in case we go multiplatform one day. At this point K/N won over C/C++ for having a friendly memory management and a language we're very confident with. Performance was not considered yet so we might reevaluate this

I publish to those platforms in Multiplatform Settings, but just the interfaces and extensions with no actual implementation. I'm not aware of anyone supplying their own implementation to use it there.
