I had no idea that Kotlin/Native existed, nor that it had interop with Swift and iOS frameworks! Wow!

Funnily enough, when looking at the Kotlin view code it took me a second to realize I wasn’t looking at Swift + iOS (for better or worse)!

Is anyone using it to actually develop cross-platform apps? Positive/negative experience?

I've looked at it and what really turns me off is the dependency on gradle, I hate dealing with gradele scripts so much. Its just overcomplicated to me.
