I suppose Kotlin/Native is fairly slower than C++, but what are your opinions?

03/25/2021, 2:54 PMIf your primary goal is as much speed as possible, then I would recommend C(++) or maybe Rust (tho afaik, Rust can be bit overwhelming at first time)
Afaik Kotlin/Native is not optimized for speed properly yet
