ARM v7 is, indeed, a popular architecture for embedded devices. Given the memory restrictions however, it is traditionally developed on using systems languages that are designed with a different mindset. While it certainly is possible to create embedded software with Kotlin which uses GC and targets a machine with limited resources, it isn’t something that we believe would have a large market and therefore it is not viable for us to try and target it, especially taking into account that the ARM v8 is and will be supported by Kotlin/Native. This is a market we see great potential in and we’re committed to supporting it
