Name: Compose for Desktop by Talking Kotlin
Duration: 44 min 51 s
Description: We sit down to talk to Nikolay Igotti, who's now leading the efforts of Compose for Desktop at JetBrains. We talk about why the need for a new UI framework for Desktop, how Compose for Desktop works, and what's planned for the future.

In this episode we chat to Ana Redmond about her adoption of Kotlin/Native for multi-platform development very close to the time it was announced. She went fully onboard with the technology and managed to develop and release a successful educational game. Very inspiring story of someone that went from not knowing Kotlin or Swift, to release a product in a short span of time.
