# Musings on the Current State of Kotlin Multiplatform (Q3 '19)

**[Touchlab](https://daily.dev/sources/touchlab)** · 7 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A Q3 2019 state-of-the-ecosystem post on Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), written in a Q&A format based on common community conversations. Key topics include: mainstream adoption is happening but mostly quietly, multithreaded coroutines on native are not yet available but work is ongoing, Swift interop goes through Objective-C with improvements underway, KMP is well-suited for sharing business logic (networking, storage) but not UI, and SwiftUI compatibility is feasible for logic layers. The author also revisits 2019 predictions and shares updates on Touchlab's Xcode debugger plugin and refactoring service.
