Missed the kotlin-night in Frankfurt? Here are my slides about Kotlin’s emerging data-science ecosystem https://holgerbrandl.github.io/kotlin4ds_kotlin_night_frankfurt/emerging_kotlin_ds_ecosystem.html

I usually don't like slides with too much text, but this read like a concise article. Nice summary of the state of Kotlin in DS.

It's a shame that there are still some unresolved issues with Kotlin scripting and REPL, considering Kotlin's tooling-first approach. I feel like the Kotlin Jupyter kernels are not very useful right now as well, sadly.

[holgerbrandl]

Actually they are, look at the very end of the presentation, where I use the kernel to compile a kotlin kts script straight into an html report. Felt like magic to me, and I wanted to to do since quite a while.

[czyzby]

OK, maybe that came out wrong. I mean that the Kotlin support is nowhere near the level of support for Python, and some missing core functions make it harder to use it for everyday work.

Thanks for the mention

There are so many resources in this presentation! It looks really useful for anyone interested in DS with Kotlin
