A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

are there major compilation speed increments expected for 1.5? so far it looks like mostly the backend of the compiler is affected and the frontend, which supposedly brings the most enhancements, will not be part of 1.5 yet.

I'm curious; where do you feel a performance pain point?  For us, JVM Kotlin compile times are absolutely not an issue. Developing for KMP, it's noticeable that Kotlin/Native builds, especially for Release, are 2-3 times as long, if not longer.

There won't be any improvements in frontend part until new frontend (aka FIR) won't be released
And I can't give any estimate when it will happen
