A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hey Cedric, have you heard of Moshi and Jackson considering migrating from `kotlin-reflect` to `kotlinx-metadata`?  It's supposed to be <https://github.com/ZacSweers/MoshiX/blob/main/moshi-metadata-reflect/README.md?plain=1#L36|faster>, and provides a nice reduction in binary size (3 MB to 1 MB).  Have you considered performing a similar change?

Ah, perhaps not.

<@U0B8ZP13Q> - would you consider adding a few more devs to the collaborators on this project to help out? if you're backing away from maintaining it, that might be a way to keep it moving forward without sucking up your time
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(...and apologies for the sunday afternoon mention)

<@U0369CBV78V> Absolutely! I feel bad for not having enough time to keep working on this project, happy to enlist some help. Why don't you send me a PR, just for sanity check, and after that, happy to add interested people as collaborators

<@U01V2S2HGRK> I hit a pretty bad dead end (performance wise) with the current reflection libraries, filed a bug many years ago, but it never went anywhere. I started ripping it out and replacing it with regular Java reflection but that ended up being a lot of work and I never finished that work. So, short answer: yes, I think Klaxon would benefit from a better reflection library, and along the way, maybe make the boundaries a bit clearer in case faster/better reflection libraries come up in the future, so it's easy to swap them

For reference, here's how kotlinx-reflection can be used with moshi: <https://github.com/ZacSweers/MoshiX/tree/main/moshi-metadata-reflect>

<@U0B8ZP13Q> I sent a pr a few months ago. Does that count? :sunglasses:

Oh... really... who are you on github? TreffnonX?
