Exploring Kotlin Multiplatform

on YouTube ↗36m

" summary

Kotlin Multiplatform promises shared business logic compiled for JVM JS iOS (and experimental wasm/Rust targets) using IntelliJ, Gradle/Maven, Detekt and DOKA. Claim: cut headcount costs (roughly $90,000 per dev) and shorten 4–12 month projects by reusing code. Demo: a single common class builds a calculator deployed to Android, Node/JS web UI and a Swing desktop app — it works. Gotchas: IntelliJ lockups, slow Kotlin compile times, messy code‑coverage across targets, and some platform support still experimental.
