Hey @ibash we're planning out the next SDK generator and Kotlin is in the mix. Are you planning to use Kotlin with Android or Java?

ibash commented 5 months ago

Hey Danny, decided to stick with hono's client and not introduce openapi into our stack. So kotlin is no longer needed.

Hi! What is the current status of Kotlin support?

I'm interested in multiplatform Kotlin – JVM, Native (iOS), and WASM

dannysheridan commented 1 day ago

@devcrocod our Java SDK is Kotlin-compatible. Most of our customers have found that it meets their needs; curious if that's the same for you!

devcrocod commented 1 day ago

I agree that the Java SDK meets the needs on the JVM.

However, when working with Kotlin, it creates some complications:

The lack of standard Kotlin libraries makes it harder to use the generated SDK in existing pure Kotlin projects.
There is no support for mobile clients (Android/iOS).
It is necessary to wrap the generated Java code in Kotlin to maintain a unified API.
