Kotlin: Web, Mobile, Multiplatform... The Ambition of the Swiss Army Knife?
summary
Kotlin is presented as a full ecosystem rather than just an improved Java, demonstrated by live builds that target JVM, Android, native macOS executable, Kotlin/JS and WebAssembly (~149 KB .wasm) using Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), Kotlin/JS, Kotlin/Native, Ktor/14 and Compose. Shared business logic is placed in a common module with expect/actual shims for platform specifics, and UI is reused via Compose UI on Android and desktop; several targets and libraries are still experimental and need specific Kotlin 1.8.20 toolchain versions.
