Kotlin for iOS and Kotlin/ktor as Web backend framework

Kotlin/Native Tech Preview: Kotlin without a VM

We are happy to announce the first Technology Preview of Kotlin/Native that compiles Kotlin directly to machine code. The Kotlin/Native compiler produces standalone executables that can run without any virtual machine.

Kotlin/Native uses the LLVM compiler infrastructure to generate machine code. In this preview, we support the following target platforms:

• Mac OS X 10.10 and later (x86-64)
• x86-64 Ubuntu Linux (14.04, 16.04 and later), other Linux flavours may work as well
• Apple iOS (arm64), cross-compiled on MacOS X host
• Raspberry Pi, cross-compiled on Linux host
