We sit down with the folks from the team at AWS that work on QLDB, to discuss what Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (QLDB) is, their usage of Kotlin, why they choose Kotlin over Java for this new project, and how their overall experience has been.
Catching up with Data Science at JetBrains
We chat with Roman Belov about the work he's doing at JetBrains with Kotlin for Data Science. We discuss the approach they're taking to work with the existing ecosystem as opposed to try and replicate it. How this is different from some of the other efforts under way and the direction in which they're moving when it comes to Data Science with Kotlin on multiple platforms.
Jetpack Compose with Leland Richardson
Jetpack Compose is the new UI toolkit from Google that is Kotlin First. It takes advantage of Kotlin's Compiler Plugin Architecture to provide a performant UI layer for Android development (albeit extensible to other platforms). We sit down with lead of the project to discuss what it is and plans around it.
Oolong
We sit down with Michael Pardo to discuss the MVU pattern, taking a brief look at all the other patterns that have existed for UI development over the years. We then talk about Oolong, a library for Kotlin for facilitating MVU in your applications.
Data2viz for Data Visualization
We chat with Gaëtan about their work on data visualization using Kotlin. As one of the first pioneers of not only using Kotlin, but also targeting multiple platforms before Kotlin/Multiplatform even existed, Gaëtan talk about why and how they decided to first target JavaScript and JavaFX with their products.
