We develop Kotlin to be a good tool for all application developers, at all scales and on all platforms. In Kotlin 1.3 coroutines graduated to stable, making non-blocking code easy to read and write. Scalability has never been as approachable before! This release also brings Kotlin/Native Beta that compiles Kotlin code directly to native binaries. The multiplatform capabilities of Kotlin now cover all supported

In today's keynote at KotlinConf 2018 we made a series of announcements around releases, resources, and other things we've made available.

Greetings Kotlin fans! Ever since we announced interoperability with Objective-C for Kotlin/Native, we’ve been getting lots of questions about IDE support that would allow working on projects that mix Kotlin/Native and Swift/Objective-C. Today we are happy to announce that we are working on a Kotlin/Native plugin for AppCode! AppCode is our macOS-only IDE designed for iOS/macOS developers. It already supports the Xcode project model, running and debugging in simulators and on devices, and offers extensive support for Objective-C and Swift. So, it felt natural to add Kotlin/Native support to

We are pleased to announce Kotlin/Native v0.6 (Valentine’s Day release) of our toolchain.

In this blog post we are discussing development of Kotlin/Native applications. Today we take a look on basic video player, using FFMPEG audio/video decoder and SDL2 for rendering. Hopefully, it will be useful guide for Kotlin/Native development enthusiasts and will explain intended mechanisms of using the platform. As main focus in our tutorial is on Kotlin/Native, we will give only cursory view on how videoplayer shall be developed. Please see this excellent tutorial, called "How to Write a Video Player in Less Than 1000 Lines" for reference on how it could be done in C language. If you're i

Greetings Kotlin fans, A New Year is coming and we are truly happy to make the last announcement of 2017. We’ve just released the update for Kotlin/Native plugin for CLion.
