    google/ksp is one of the lightweight compiler plugin. We can easy to create compiler plugin with simple syntax. It's set as stable last year.

    If you ever come back to it, check out https://github.com/google/ksp, it's relatively new but I think it might be a great fit for the project.
  • Yet another DI for kotlin multiplatform

    Fyi ksp handles tracking this for incremental builds, you may be able to see what they are doing?

    Multiplatform is in a snapshort rn because of https://github.com/google/ksp/issues/632, the snapshot has a work-around but it's pretty gross imo and has some bad side-effects. I could release it with an alpha marker if people were interested in that.
  • Kotlin Coroutines and Swift, revisited
    3 projects | dev.to | 4 Jun 2021
    I'd like to further iterate on all these patterns in some form of codegen library in the future, as compiler plugins start to mature. I'm hopeful for a multiplatform version of Kotlin Symbol Processing to help with this, though this won't be possible before Kotlin 1.5.20 at the earliest due to missing extension points in the Kotlin compiler. Fingers crossed for something this summer I guess.

    Well, KSP is developed by Google, so you should ask them for more documentation, I think :) For compiler plugins -- yes, JetBrains should at some point invest some time and create at least the basic documentation for compiler plugin authors. But first of all, we need to create the public compiler API itself. We are going to do that after releasing the JS IR back-end.
