Personally I'm intrigued by Kotlin Native as a replacement for Python and Go tools without requiring the JVM.
I find it's a fundamentally better language than both and so being able to write CLI tools and other smaller stuff in it would be nice while still being able to leverage Kotlin + JVM on the backend would also be nice.
- afastow 10y agoFair enough, I might be wrong and there might more of a desire for Kotlin Native than I thought there would be.
- jug 10y agoSame - a common language for JVM, JS, Native is both unique and intriguing to me. These are three really big targets. It's not that it would be unique in being a higher level compiled language or a language making Java development more fun to me, but being a common languge for among the most popular targets besides .NET today.
- tutanchamun 10y agoScala already does that with scala.js (production-ready) and scala-native (don't know if production-ready, probably not since it's only at 0.1 and they want to implement a better GC instead of relying on boehm like now). Just wanted to point that out in case you didn't know that already.
