Kotlin/Native is the Kotlin compiler backend that compiles Kotlin code to native binaries via LLVM, with interop for C and Objective-C. This repository hosted its infrastructure but has been archived, with development moved into the main JetBrains/kotlin repository.

Use cases

• compile kotlin to native binaries
• build ios apps with kotlin multiplatform
• interop kotlin with c libraries
• interop kotlin with objective-c
• compile kotlin without a jvm
• build native executables from kotlin code

When to choose

• you want to study the historical Kotlin/Native compiler infrastructure
• you need to reference the archived implementation of Kotlin/Native before its merge into the main Kotlin repo

When to avoid

• you want to use or contribute to Kotlin/Native today - use JetBrains/kotlin instead
• you need an actively maintained native compiler for Kotlin
• you want to file issues or request features for Kotlin/Native
