Features

• Code not run on a VM (i.e. directly compiled to machine code).
• Automatic garbage collection.

Module

Batch processing

• Install batcher Gimp plugin by copying its extracted folder to ~/.config/GIMP/3.0/plug-ins.
• Multiple images can be easily resized from its gui in gimp.

Multiple images to pdf

• Gimp not used because the pdf produced is too large on the disk.
• convert (from imagemagick) and img2pdf without the --imgsize option, produce pages of different sizes in the same pdf document.
• Without sorting by number, wildcards would sort files in an alphabetical order.

Kotlin

• Statically typed language.
• Outputs bytecode that runs on the JVM (like Java).

Build Automation tools for JVM projects

All of them are similar to CMake but for Java/Kotlin:

What is it

An instrumentation tool for x86, Android..., that targets binary applications.

Usage

• To debug live processes.
• To execute your script inside another process.

Applications

• Frida is used for dynamic reverse engineering (i.e. analyze a program while software is running).
• Static reverse engineering software in contrast take binaries to dissect them.
