The talk from Google Workspace folks on KMP <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lkZj4v4-ks>

They talk about `String` improvements. Is that something that's going to be upstreamed to the compiler or will stay their app specific?

<https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-71534/Native-Support-Latin-1-encoded-strings-at-runtime> was implemented
<https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-74908/Kotlin-Native-enable-latin1Strings-by-default> is not yet enabled

so.. it will be transparent to apps eventually?

yes. like how <https://openjdk.org/jeps/254|JEP 254> changed Java's string representation, the same app code will simply be more efficient once it's enabled in Kotlin/Native
