Kotlin Translation
I like this project, and by converting this code to Kotlin it would allow for multi-platform project with a single source code. I'm proposing that this code gets translated to Kotlin.
Thanks for the suggestion Shawn. I'm not super familiar with Kotlin, but it looks like Java libraries can be called from Kotlin directly. Is there anything we would gain from having a Kotlin library as opposed to a Java one?
Checking in on this again - would having a Kotlin library provide any benefits over the existing Java one?
@zongweil I haven't used this myself - but Kotlin can apparently be used in a multi-platform context where interoperability with Java code isn't possible or necessary in all instances. This tutorial is about sharing Kotlin code between an Android and an iOS app, for example: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/native/mpp-ios-android.html
Translating the Java class itself should be easy to do, and it might even be possible to reuse the existing Java tests.
Oh interesting. Writing a Kotlin implementation isn't super high priority for us, but this would make for a good contributor project.
