We all know how Kotlin is progressively moving into a fully multi-platform world and trying to drag the rest of the industry with it kicking and screaming. However, there is still value to be found by fully embracing a singular platform, finding all the right (read: fun) technologies for your use-case, and uniting them into a harmonious whole.

This talk will take you on a trip from Kotlin into not just native code but also to utilizing GPUs and operating system functionality you would never have expected from a non-GUI JVM-based project.

If you're offended by any of the following technologies, this talk might not be for you: Rust, NVENC, VA-API, C-Headers, Quarkus

As this is a longer talk we will have a small break somewhere in the middle.
