Stardust

Stardust is a software library containing a lot of powerful features that make the programmer’s life much easier. Stardust is my main project that I’ve been working on for many years. I’m developing the library with Kotlin as a multi-platform project with JVM and JavaScript as target platforms. The library is designed as an extension to Kotlin's standard API.
