kotlinx.coroutines VS kotlinx.html

Now, let's consider an example. For instance, let's create a Kotlin/JVM project with kotlinx.coroutines library as a dependency.

Greetings community, I just submited a PR to Kotlin coroutines with two additional operators :

The harder parts of Kotlin are going to be things like kotlinx.coroutines, but that's just a library, not a core part of the language. It's about as hard to learn as a comparable library in another language, like the Task Parallel Library in .NET.

Kotlin has coroutines that are supported by the language and implemented by a library (the implementation remains platform-dependent): kotlinx.coroutines and a sandbox environment is available here to try it out.

That said, since it seems like you're doing UI stuff (Android?), you're best off doing all of the UI code in coroutines, using Dispatchers.Main as a context (as provided by one of the platform-specific coroutine libraries), since this will guarantee that your UI code will be safely run in the UI thread.

1 Clone this repo https://github.com/tom-delalande/html-to-kotlin-converter and open in intellij 2 In the root of that project folder, create input.txt and add the component/html that you want to convert (feel free to pick a component from tailwind), run main in that project and it'll be converted to kotlin ktor html DSL in output.txt (basically, that's the readme of that project lol) 3 in your ktor project (make sure you already added ktor-html from kotlin team), respond to a route like so

As for the strange infix syntax, you're correct - it's not important (for Dart anyway). Kotlin supports writing code that have DSL like syntax making things like typesafe HTML or Jetpack Compose possible.

I'm not familiar with JavaEE/JSP so I cannot really answer that, why do these technologies need a special IDE? Does JSP even make sense with Kotlin? If I was stuck with JSP I'd probably use Java since that's what JSP was made for. Kotlin has other solutions like https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.html

Html DSL in Kotlin. See it on Github.

If so, and if they don't provide an easy way to set a font family list, you may have to escape into a raw block: https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.html/wiki/Style-and-script-tags

You might like to leave a comment here, someone requested svg support in the Kotlin HTML dsl https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.html/issues/144

Thanks for sharing, I really like projects like this. And the website is really informative.

I find it less of a new language and more of a JS preprocessor, removing lots of the cruft and integrating XML-tags and CSS in a very neat way.

What I miss:

1) I feel the web is shifting to more type checking. TS, Elm, Kotlin.js... I personally also prefer more typesafety, especially if the project grows in LOC/team size.

2) Compared to JSX, Imba does a much better job in integrating adjacent technologies. Though I much prefer these to be integrated in an eDSL fashion. For example how Elm does HTML templating (in Elm) or Kotlinx.html[1].

Just taste i guess. Good luck with yr project!

I do use kotlinx.html and while there is a lack of the documentation about the tags, most of them are already implemented (as far as I know they are automatically generated) and the ones that aren't automatically generated can be implemented manually in your own project.
