Deep Dive into Kotlin/Native
summary
Kotlin/Native compiles Kotlin to standalone LLVM binaries that run on iOS, macOS, Linux and even in the browser via WebAssembly browser client. The demo shows the Spinner app built mostly in Kotlin/Native, loaded into Xcode with tiny Objective‑C stubs, a server using libmicrohttpd and C interop via generated headers/def files, and curl wrappers around libcurl; debugging and tests run with DWARF info in CLion and Xcode. Core features work but tooling and memory model remain preview-stage.
