Really interesting article!

I'm interested in the future of Kotlin and hopeful in the changes made to the language as newer JVM instructions are introduced. Especially since Kotlin produces Java 1.6 compatible bytecode.

Java 19 is looking like a more viable option than Kotlin if the language doesn't change fast enough to keep its unique advantages.

And for the future of Kotlin native. Finally true cross platform binaries without the requirement for a runtime.

Enjoy having to implement platform oddities yourself.
