🎉 2 years of SKIE!

Shipping cross-platform apps is hard enough. Interop shouldn’t be. From flows & suspend functions to automatic CInterop, #SKIE has powered apps at powersync.com, mapbox.com, and more.

Good question. Why did cinterop with ObjC get retcon'd to experimental? It's the foundation of the entire platform. It has stopped discussions about KMP adoption at companies we've talked to. Not to rant :) kotlinlang.org/docs/native-...

do i know anyone using kotlin in anger?

would love to learn about the native interop story, and maybe how to find packages that use cinterop

Honestly having cinterop for Kotlin/JVM would be such a game changer, it would make calling native code from any other language sooo much convenient, and make the multiplatform story for libraries and end-users much simpler

Is klib a platform-independent format? if so, and if we don't use any cinterop, we get rid of publishing all these target-specific artefacts (eg: repo1.maven.org/maven2/io/ma...). There are a lot of files we need to publish and pull for each dep. It's painful when we have many targets and deps.

Got a working API for sending raw messages to the TPM with Kotlin/Native on Windows and Linux. By writing a small C/C++ library as wrapper around the platform-native APIs and then just using it in Kotlin with CInterop.

I just published a super lightweight library that allows using the actual system stack instead of a virtual one in #Kotlin native! If you want to write high-performance cinterop code, this is for you :)

I use Kotlin/Native, i wrote my own impl using the CInterop native API :D But it's nice for things like Index/VertexBufferBuilders where i end up shuffeling the data onto the unmanaged heap anyways. That way i save a copy and i can safely dispose the unmanaged memory when build() is called

The party would go much harder if we had cinterop for Kotlin/JVM (along with K/N interop?) 🕺

Yeah it's just Firefox obviously has lots of rust already so if one of the engines were to use the rust library I'd have expected that one. I should have a look at temporal_capi to see if I can generate a kotlin/native cInterop with it...

Okay so from all reactions i guess people wanna hear my bs :D

well, maybe a little hangover after cinterop ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
