I'm using a 4 years old laptop with 4GB as my main machine. As much as I want to develop Android apps, there's no way for me to do it with Android Studio. The IDE itself would consume much of the memory with glaring input lags, and there's gradle. The tooling isn't there outside the IDE. Kotlin-language-server and ktlint sadly isn't enough. I really wish android dev is more accessible.

Most of my Android development is either mobile Web, or NDK stuff.

This approach allows me to ignore of the Android development pain, mostly develop on desktop and just focus on the device for final testing.

Naturally on that case Koltin isn“t part of the story.
