i am newbie to mobile dev is it better than retrofit and in what spaces please ?

[@vengateshm2122]

@@_hudeifa23 Retrofit written in java and has support for coroutines. On the other hand Ktor client written in kotlin and has inbuilt support of coroutines.

Incredible presentation! I can see why Garth's a developer advocate

please guys solve this logging mess, I dont want to have to include slf4j related xmls or dependencies, just make it work out of the box ........ with a kotlin idiomatic enum to configure it or something !!

[@SIMULATAN]

you can use slf4j-simple if you want something bare-bones. i doubt they'll ever implement something like this simply because you won't really find a single production application that doesn't use SLF4j.

[@avwie132]

Placing a SL4J jar on the classpath enables logging though ;)

[@powerli5694]

No, SL4J is just a faced jar, it doesn't include logging implementation.
