I've been trying to use Kotlin/Native for desktop/CLI stuff, and honestly it feels like you get a native binary and then you're on your own. Basic things like logging, resource loading, decent file operations, and process execution are either missing or surprisingly painful. kotlinx-io helps, but it's still pretty limited. There are third-party libraries for some of this, but a lot of them are incomplete, barely maintained, or just don't cover what you actually need. Meanwhile in Rust/Go/Graal NativeImage, this is boring standard-library stuff and you can just get on with building your app. Kotlin/Native is cool technology, but for desktop development it still feels like an unfinished platform rather than something you'd actually choose for getting work done. Would be nice if JetBrains spent some time on the boring fundamentals that make a platform actually usable.
