What do you think about the future of Kotlin/Native in the AI / Vibe Coding era?
Rust and Go are becoming popular choices for AI-assisted development, especially for CLI tools and native apps. They offer native performance, low memory usage, fast startup, and simple deployment.
I feel Kotlin/Native could also have strong potential here.
Kotlin is still mostly associated with JVM, Java, and Android, but for CLI tools and lightweight native applications, Kotlin/Native already seems quite capable.
Kotlin itself is expressive, type-safe, null-safe, and productive, which also makes it a good fit for AI-assisted coding.
I hope JetBrains continues investing heavily in Kotlin/Native, especially in tooling, compilation speed, binary size, native interoperability, and ecosystem growth.
How do you see the future of Kotlin/Native? Could it become a serious option alongside Rust and Go for CLI and native development, or will Kotlin remain mainly a JVM language?
