Libraries for K/N citizens
summary
Current state of Kotlin/Native libraries: JetBrains and Touchlab provide the core ecosystem while community projects supply SQLDelight, Ktor (client), kotlinx-serialization, kotlinx-io, atomicfu and multiplatform-settings; the stack compiles common code into iOS frameworks and Android libs but compiling is slow. Concurrency requires freezing objects to transfer them across threads and coroutines on native remain single-threaded for now. Generics support lands thanks to Touchlab contributions so DTO sharing across platforms works well; avoid using Kotlin/Native for UI and prefer small experiments for business logic.
