Support for Kotlin/Multilpatform? #50

Does viktor plan to support Kotlin Multiplatform?

dievsky commented 3 years ago

Unfortunately, I have no experience with Kotlin Multiplatform. That doesn't mean I'm not willing to gain it, however. Could you please elaborate a bit which benefits do we stand to gain from that support?

breandan commented 3 years ago

Based on my understanding (@CommanderTvis please feel free to chime in), Kotlin Multiplatform offers several benefits. Primarily, it would allow you to target other platforms with the same Kotlin codebase. It would enable your library to reach a much larger audience of multiplatform applications. Finally, adopting KMP could simplify the development process, providing a unified build system, a single IDE setup, and other conveniences. I am unsure about the performance implications, but perhaps it can be investigated.

For KMath it would be great to have Viktor multiplatform as well because KMath is primarily multiplatform itself.

Sounds intriguing. I'll try to investigate the possibility.

If anyone still needs it, here's an alternative that should be (mostly) drop-in https://github.com/Martmists-GH/ndarray.simd
