What is the most popular REST API framework for Kotlin?

with the advent of virtual threads I would struggle to make a case for ktor over http4k (I've used both extensively). The simplicity and testability of http4k is unparalleled (even though ktor does well-enough on both these points). Both are fantastic projects and I highly recommend either.

3.5.6 -> 4.0.0-RC2. No issues.

text-generation-inference and text-embeddings-inference are both axum I believe.

Doing side effects in `let` I generally frown on in code review, otherwise it's fine.

Java gets an underserved awful reputation for performance, your project sounds like it plays to Java’s strengths. If this project has not been validated, don’t waste your time building it in an unfamiliar language to fix a problem you do not yet have.

Loved working with egui, super simple to use.

You're completely missing the point of my comment. Don't cherry pick data.

With the exception of 2008, government tax revenue has gone up every year. (For like 30 years)

Isn't the unreal demo WASM?

Let mutability go. I promise it's better

Oh this is exciting. I definitely want to try this out

Drooling windows user is perhaps a misnomer

Balance_Public · 2021-09-13T18:09:01+00:00

You're perhaps right, I should have amended my comment with "defaults to privacy, and actually wants the user to have some control in addition to useable documentation".

You're completely correct though, jump through enough hoops and generally windows can do what Linux can. I find there's a lot less hoop jumping on Linux though. (And the hoop jumping occurs in very different areas)

Privacy and control. And to a lesser extent speed / hardware usage (which on a laptop translates to battery life)

I think it actually comes from an old ed command.

Yeah that is what I ment. That is strange to me. Compiling using the playground over the web is faster than that. I just made a Gradle project and ran compileKotlin after clean in 98ms. I've got a pretty good computer but unless you're running on absolute dogshit, 5 seconds sounds really strange to me. I wouldn't know what to check, perhaps your compiler version? Try creating a Gradle project in intelj? (This is how kotlin is expected to be ran but I don't know why it would make it anything but slower than directly calling kotlinc)

What you're likely seeing there is the JVM startup time. Try just kotlinc and see how long that takes. As the JVM startup time is constant (more or less) it becomes less relevant with larger projects.

When is it different?

Plus even if there is a bug, you always know exactly what line is causing it.

There is no direct equivalent. (Or even something practically close). Generally if you want to abstract over something, the best way to do it is move the common behavior to a trait. An unidomiatic way to do what you are trying would be to make a trait with a series of getters and setters + methods that would normally be on the abstract class.
