Kotlin Compiler

Elide comes with a built-in Kotlin compiler. It is the stock Kotlin compiler, but with native image technology it starts up faster and saves time, especially with smaller projects. You can use it via elide kotlinc -- .... It is fully compatible and drop-in ready with Kotlin 2.3.10. The elide build tool will also automatically compile Kotlin sources based on declarations in the elide.pkl manifest file.

Note

There are no Elide-specific options before -- at this time. The -- separator is still required.

Examples

Compile and run a Kotlin file:

kotlin

// Hello.kt
fun main() = println("Hello!")

bash

 elide kotlinc -- Hello.kt && java -cp target HelloKt

terminaloutput

Hello!
