kotlinlang

Hi everyone, does anyone know if there is any plan for a Kotlin compile option `jvmTarget = "11"`? And what would be the implications from a performance/optimization point of view?

We don’t immediately see any potential benefits from it, hence no plans. There are some minor things you could optimize in bytecode using JEP181 nestmates, but they do not bring any measurable performance benefits. If you have any data points that show otherwise or have any other ideas of what might be optimized specifically in JDK11, you are welcome to submit a request to <http://kotl.in/issue>

Thanks <@U2E974ELT>, I was mostly curious in potential benefits, if they were any
