Summary
In this episode of The Programming Languages Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into Kotlin Multiplatform, the emerging framework that lets developers share business logic across Android, iOS, web, and desktop from a single Kotlin codebase. They explore its 2026 landscape, comparing it to Flutter and React Native, and break down why JetBrains' approach of 'shared logic, native UI' is gaining traction in production apps. The hosts highlight real-world adoption by companies like Netflix and Square, discuss the maturity of the ecosystem, and unpack the trade-offs versus dedicated native development. If you're evaluating cross-platform tools for your next project, this episode gives you the concrete details to make an informed call. #KotlinMultiplatform #CrossPlatformDevelopment #JetBrains #MobileDevelopment #Kotlin #Android #iOS #Flutter #ReactNative #ComposeMultiplatform #ProgrammingLanguages #TechnologyPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SoftwareEngineering #AppDevelopment #NetflixEngineering #SquareEngineering Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
