Closing Panel
summary
Panel gives concrete outcomes not hype: Flow roadmap: compact, bulk done next year, Compose beta targeted next year (beta ≠ guarantee of production but many ship), Kotlin/Native ports report ~80% code reuse and worked in production, no immediate plan to remove type erasure, packaged-private stays resisted, coroutines remain a separate library, experimental annotations get removed across major releases, jacoco/coverage bugs get fixes not overhaul, and community projects (Arrow, Ktor, Kotlin/JS) are where real contributions are needed.
