The Unbearable Lightness of Data Visualization in Kotlin Full Stack

on YouTube ↗45m

" summary

A Kotlin full-stack talk about building systems where the traditional client/server roles are reversed: a controlling backend pushes control and data to a browser that acts as the visualization “server.” It explains techniques for organizing reverse data/control flow in Kotlin, discusses when web UI is used purely for drawing (e.g., data-collection and process-visualization systems), and highlights problems that can arise. The talk references an implementation repository: https://github.com/SciProgCentre/visionforge.
