Questions for #kotlinask_13 about #Kolin features
Raw
kotlinask_13.kt.txt
Here some questions for #kotlinask_13 about #Kolin features:
⦁ Possibilities of compiling Kotlin/JVM code (with using of Vert.x project, for ex.) with GraalVM/SubstrateVM AoT Compiler - possible overhead
⦁ Possibilities of applying project Loom JVM fibers for Kotlin coroutines and suspend functions in the future
⦁ Possibilities and abilities of writing (preemptive) thread dispatcher/scheduler/monitor for coroutines management and (M:N) mapping of coroutines to thread-pool of system threads - for Kotlin/JVM and Kotlin/Native
⦁ Garbage collecting and reference counting (ARC?) mechanisms/algorithms in Kotlin/Native - possible overhead
⦁ WASM codegen support in Kotlin/Native and memory management compatibility between them
⦁ Possibilities of RAII (scope based) and manual memory management without automatic GC w/RC in Kotlin/Native, how to use raw and safe pointers/references in Kotlin/Native
⦁ Possibilities of memory safery and thread safety in Kotlin/Native - control immutability of pointers & references, strong/weak references (ARC), reference types and value types (off-heap data types), stack memory management and stack safety
⦁ Possibilities of support for UFCS (Uniform Function Call Syntax - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Function_Call_Syntax) in Kotlin future releases
