Hi, I'm somewhat new to Kotlin programming and so far it's becoming my favorite language. I was browsing some Kotlin projects when I found Komac, which recently switched to the Multiplatform target from only having the JVM target.
As far as I know, JVM can also run on all platforms without the use of minGW except for iOS but I don't have a developer certificate or incentive to work beyond CMD scripts so far, so is there an advantage for Kotlin Multiplatform?

Another important target platform is JS. If you target browsers using the JS target, Kotlin lets you build web apps. There already is pretty good support for major JS functions out of the box and if not, you can always include native JS code using special calls.
