04/12/2018, 1:39 AMIt means that theoretically it works and that’s all.
But honestly I really don’t like solution with a separate dsl, imo would be better to wait for compiler plugins for K/N

04/12/2018, 1:44 AM@gildor But compiler plugins are a ways out right? I asked a few months ago at kotlinconf, and I was told that it hasn't even been designed yet.

04/12/2018, 1:45 AMKotlin Compilers already exist, but it’s completely internal API not intended to use by third party developers. We already have those compiler plugins:
all-open, default constructor, serialization

04/12/2018, 1:46 AMproblem that there are no compiler plugins for K/N, I suppose because K/N backend has very different structure (based on internal representation)

04/12/2018, 1:47 AMright, they said for the compiler plugins, they'd need to bring all the compilers under the same backend.

04/12/2018, 1:48 AMAbout public compiler plugins API. I believe that Kotlin Team will start work on them only when Kotlin compiler refactoring will be finished for the all backends

04/12/2018, 1:48 AMyes, exactly
