<h1 id="localhostaccess">Local Host Access</h1>
<p>Tiny web server called Local Host Access (<strong>LHA</strong>) is ready to replace
Local File System Access (<strong>LFSA</strong>) on JVM and macOS: I've generated this
very article with LHA on macOS. Thus, Kotlin prooved to be a good choice for
cross-platform development with a minor limitation.</p>
<p>The minor limitation is the fact that 99% of Kotlin is used on JVM. The
remaining 1% is so-called Kotlin Native for iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows.
Thus, when one needs something as simple as to find out if a symlink
points to a file or directory, that's a dead end, there's no article for
that on the Internet. For C, there are numerous articles telling to call <code>stat()</code>
function. For Kotlin Native, it's unclear how to properly make such a simple call.</p>
<p>I've actually asked <a href="https://discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/how-to-call-stat-c-function-to-get-file-type/29541">this specific question</a> in November,
and still wait for an answer.
In the meantime, I had to resort to calling <code>stat</code> in the shell (aka <code>system()</code>).</p>
<h1 id="december">December</h1>
<p>I plan to implement the first Kotlin -&gt; Python translator to let LHA
cover as many platforms as the original LFSA in Python.</p>
