Is Kotlin Native ready for CLI tools development ?

1. kscript

   1 7 2,101 0.9 Kotlin

   Scripting enhancements for Kotlin

   

   I am surprised not to see any mention of kscript https://github.com/holgerbrandl/kscript

3. kotlinx.coroutines

   2 60 13,272 8.8 Kotlin

   Library support for Kotlin coroutines

   

   Coroutines are not built for arm (and other libraries). Maybe I am overestimating the importance of this, but I would absolutely want to run my CLI tools on machines like the raspberry pi!

4. kotlinx-cli

   3 8 916 4.9 Kotlin

   Pure Kotlin implementation of a generic CLI parser.

   

   There is https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-cli but you'll have to weigh this against quality and completeness of third party efforts as you've already discovered (in any case you'll probably need multiple libraries).

5. cobra

   4 140 39,727 7.9 Go

   A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions

   

   My go-to for CLI tools nowadays is Golang with cobra

6. ionos-dyndns

   5 1 1 0.0 Kotlin

   dyndns daemon for ionos domains

   

   Hey! I am currently investigating the current state of Kotlin for such tools/applications. I, therefore, created a sample dyndns cli tool for my webhoster (see https://github.com/sellmair/ionos-dyndns) as example/dogfooding project.

7. okio

   6 15 8,856 8.9 Kotlin

   A modern I/O library for Android, Java, and Kotlin Multiplatform.

   

   No "official" files API available for native right now. However, this okio implementation looks really, really cool already: https://github.com/square/okio/issues/797#issuecomment-748781380

8. kotlin-shell

   7 2 144 0.0 Kotlin

   Tool for performing shell-like programing in Kotlin

   

   Kotlin-shell looks pretty interesting too: https://github.com/jakubriegel/kotlin-shell

10. maven-mvnd

    8 94 2,980 9.1 Java

    Apache Maven Daemon

    

    Maven is slow, but hopefully mvnd can fix that.
