Idea: Rewrite in Java/Kotlin

[MarkHerhold]

This is a crazy idea, but because this project is so coupled to a JDBC driver, it might be worthwhile to rewrite local-data-api in Kotlin, perhaps with a framework like javalin. 🤔

I do not have the skills or expertise to do this but just wanted to throw the idea out there. Feel free to close this issue.

I think a good idea. The point is cost to implement.
If the Python-version fills the feature and stability, then I don't think to need it. the cost will be expensive. of course, the cost is the time to develop a Kotlin version.

But, I may change it to the kotlin-version when we need to cover the requirements.

I explain why I choose python and JDBC.

1. Python is my main programing language.
2. I wanted to try FastAPI for the new WebAPI.
3. I detected column metadata is JDBC's ResultSetMetaData after I created early version.
4. I had not learned in Kotlin yet when this project was started. But, I recently write some projects in Kotlin. poetry-pycharm-plugin, pydantic-pycharm-plugin
   SIGSEGV error in JRE when connecting to the database #50

I don't close this issue for a while.
If The issue gets reactions or comments, then I may rewrite the app in Kotlin.

@MarkHerhold @akarmes
I have released a new version 0.6.0
The version has been re-written in Kotlin for the JDBC driver.
I thought I need only 2days to re-write API in Kotlin. But, I spent 4 days developing it 😅
