The talk from Google Workspace folks on KMP

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?

[ephemient]

yes. like how JEP 254 changed Java's string representation, the same app code will simply be more efficient once it's enabled in Kotlin/Native
