Kotlin/Native Concurrency for Mobile Multiplatform

on YouTube ↗44m

" summary

Explains concrete rules: mutable state is single‑threaded, shared state must be frozen, and freeze and ensureNeverFrozen are the runtime primitives that cause or prevent invalid mutability exception. Shows tools and libraries that work and fail in practice: workers, stately isolate for thread‑local mutable containers, atomic refs, SQLDelight flows, and the draft of multi‑threaded coroutines. Demonstrates patterns, a plugin that detects freezing mistakes, and tradeoffs — the libraries mostly work but multithreaded coroutines are still experimental.
