But anyway... it's possible to do C and ObjC with minimal effort because they are "C compatible" - the term typically used escapes my mind. Compiled Swift might work with cinterop, but for C++ you'll probably need to make a wrapper, which is fairly simple. You just make functions that take a pointer as the first parameter which would be a pointer to the object, and you could create wrappers in Kotlin that hold a 'val ptr: Long'... tldr, cpp first class interop might not be worth the hassle, but I have a production app that uses C++ with Kotlin and Swift, so anything is possible with a little effort.
