It’s time to talk about meta-programming, annotation processors and compiler plugins 🧙♂️. Today we have Zac Sweers on stage, Mobile Engineer @ Slack and maintainer of Moshi, a popular Json library.
Zac is the author of MoshiX, a set of extensions for Moshi. Between those, one that caught my attention was moshi-ksp. KSP (Kotlin Symbol Processing API) is set to revolutionize the landscape of annotations processors in Kotlin. Join us on this deep dive on code generation and more.
Enjoy the show 👨🍳
