Andrey Breslav explores the internals of Kotlin/Native, showing how it compiles Kotlin to standalone binaries using LLVM.

Kotlin/Native compiles Kotlin to standalone binaries for many targets (including Linux, macOS and iOS) using LLVM. In this talk we will examine the internals of a Kotlin/Native Spinner application (demoed in the Keynote) and see how the technology works on the server, mobile clients and even WebAssembly. We'll also cover some details about the future for Kotlin/Native. Andrey Breslav has been leading design and development of the Kotlin Programming Language at JetBrains since 2010 when the project started. He often presents as a speaker at large software conferences and contributes to the Kotlin blog.

On “Can Scala Native Keep Pace With Kotlin Native?”

> Commit volume is a poor metric, since a high number of commits might just indicate a poor design that requires a lot of code changes to do anything. (Or might not). More likely they're simply making a huge amount of progress both in terms of Kotlin Native and tooling support (watching Breslav's iOS live coding session now, pretty impressive). > I don't know of anyone using either in production. True, but it's looking more and more like Kotlin Native will be production ready well before Scala Native (again, correct me if I'm wrong). > I don't think iOS is such a big market, particularly among JVM-oriented people who would be the audience Echos of Scala dropping the ball on Android su…

On “The Kotlin debate”

…nice and now they are really aggressively pushing for cross -platform support (and they may have more success here than Scala because typical Kotlin code is closer to the other platforms which it supports, i.e. iOS) > Otherwise, the only way it could become useful is if they manage to get WebAssembly support before Scala. They already have, see link to this video They are using the LLVM web assembly support as a bridge…
