This is my first time implementing class inheritance via vtables (in my tiny Kotlin runtime). A::foo() vs B::foo() get resolved through vtables in the generated code if they cannot be resolved statically. Seeing it work correctly is more satisfying than it should be. #kotlin

Sometimes you get one of those insane ideas you know you’ll regret, but it’s just too intriguing. So… I’m building a compiler for a subset of Kotlin - something I can embed into Kotlin/JVM projects like Lua, but with static typing and better performance. #kotlin

Imagine your embedded runtime throwing exceptions with real stack traces - and your IDE actually picking them up correctly so you can easily navigate there. 🤯 #kotlin

One of Kotlin’s wildest features: you can define control flow altering functions using lambda expressions with a special syntax. Thanks to aggressive inlining it’s basically free. #kotlin

Me: I won’t add many features to this tiny Kotlin scripting runtime. Also me: adds function-level generics. #kotlin

Higher-order functions take other functions as arguments. The fun part: you must not inline the call unless the target is constant - otherwise you break semantics (and your VM). #kotlin

My embeddable Kotlin scripting language just got a new feature: classes. And if you look at the assembly, you can see the function calls getting inlined. #kotlin

Sorry I had to use the most useless CS-class example ever to show off interfaces working. #kotlin

I added thread support to my runtime. It’s mostly a wrapper around Kotlin’s threads - and of course I had to demonstrate it with the obligatory race-condition example. #kotlin

Added vararg support to my runtime. Fewer things broke than expected. #kotlin

I discovered that adding new opcodes is sometimes easier if I introduce them through handwritten MiniKt assembly functions, so I can reuse the normal function resolution. The compiler inlines them anyway. #kotlin

Implemented a Vector3 inspired by libGDX in my Kotlin scripting runtime. Overriding equality just works - and later sharing the native host class should work seamlessly as well. #kotlin
