Hi, I have a question, does Kotlin has better performances than Java at execution ?

[ArcticLampyrid]

No, almost same.

[nfrankel]

java and kotlin both compiles to bytecode
this bytecode gets executed by the jvm at runtime
while there might be differences in the bytecode pattern for each language, i know of no study that claims that one has better “performance” than the other
plus, if there are, they would be dwarfed by jvm compilation-to-native-code optimization process
i’m curious, though, as where your question comes from?

I don't think java boycode == kotlin boycode, even though they have one jvm

Usually the same, but some efficient constructs like inline lambdas, inline classes and coroutines don't exist in the Java programming language ™

Nice !
