kotlinlang

oh man - it looks like in order to update my kotlin version in my multiplatform project, any deps I am using that support K/N also need to be built with the latest?

I can understand that, but it's going to be quite limiting in practice

It has mostly been an issue when trying out EAP versions for me.  Admittedly I've tried to keep the amount of external dependencies low in my project.

yeah dependencies are pretty tough right now, for the most part. just concerned about the future.

Major versions tend to get deployments quick. EAP is tough. I wouldn’t worry about the future too much. This is frustrating if you’re used to the JVM, but as I understood it, Swift had similar issues with versions.

yes, between versions with breaking changes

for a library developer this is really not great, as for java clients you don't want to update your dep as there's no reason to force them onto a newer version of kotlin if not necessary, but for native you do want to bump so that they can use it on the latest version.
