The Multi-OS engine has a much narrower scope than you describe: really just write apps on Android and run them on iOS.

It's not a way to run a JVM language and certainly not a way to generate Kotlin code for native targets.

Kotlin Native is very exciting because it's a potential threat across the board: not just to run iOS apps written in Kotlin, but also to generate native code from Kotlin in back end system, a domain that's currently heavily contested by both Go and Rust, and also to write Kotlin and generate Web Assembly.

It's going to be a very interesting next lustrum.
