the compile time is so bad in kotlin. 25s for measly 300 lines of code + 1 library. insane.

[janvladimirmostert]

wineluis: what OS are you on?

[wineluis]

arch linux

[janvladimirmostert]

ok, there was an issue on OSX where host lookups took forever which made compile times super long, for a simple hello world, it also took 25+ seconds.
After putting ::1 and localhost in the hosts file, it went down to half a second

[janvladimirmostert]

might be something similar ?

[wineluis]

golang compiles in 5 seconds with 20-40 times the size

[wineluis]

shit lang

[wineluis]

idk

[wineluis]

im using gradle

[wineluis]

maven is also terribly slow

[janvladimirmostert]

add the following in your /etc/hosts file:

127.0.0.1   localhost machinename.local 
::1         localhost machinename.local 
0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 localhost machinename.local

[janvladimirmostert]

where machinename is whatever you see in your terminal before the blinking cursor

[janvladimirmostert]

my compile time is around 2 seconds on a large project

[wineluis]

wtf

[wineluis]

i check

[janvladimirmostert]

is it making a difference ?

[wineluis]

do I need to restart something ?

[janvladimirmostert]

nope, should just start working

[janvladimirmostert]

maven tries to resolve certain things at machinename.local and for some reason on certain OSes, this takes extremely long.

[wineluis]

its at least 5 seconds now

[janvladimirmostert]

ok, that’s a huge improvement already

[janvladimirmostert]

now switch on incremental compile

[wineluis]

thats active by default

[janvladimirmostert]

I compile from command line, that takes in the millisecond range for something that takes several seconds in IntelliJ

[janvladimirmostert]

see if there’s a Kotlin package available for Arch Linux, I know OSX got one via HomeBrew

[wineluis]

but youd evelop with intellij ?

[wineluis]

i hate this ide

[janvladimirmostert]

In your maven properties add:

<properties>
        <!-- This option is experimental, if you're having build issues, disable it -->
        <kotlin.compiler.incremental>true</kotlin.compiler.incremental>
    </properties>

[janvladimirmostert]

IntelliJ is the best IDE around

[Dmitry Kandalov]

why do you hate it?

[wineluis]

its overweight and the vim plugin sucks

[Dmitry Kandalov]

no idea about vim plugin because I don’t use it, but by “overweight” I guess you mean it’s slow?

[janvladimirmostert]

Compared to Netbeans which doesn’t have a Vim plugin last time I checked and Eclipse which has a buggy one, IntelliJ’s one is pretty close to running Vim straight in the command line.

[wineluis]

intellij fucks it up if you use mouse to copy

[janvladimirmostert]

use v for visual mode, y for copy and p for paste
You’re also supposed to be in insertion mode before you paste, regular VIM does the same.

[wineluis]

in vscode you can use the mouse to copy paste properly and use y and p

[janvladimirmostert]

sounds like a cool feature, log a feature request: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issues/VIM

[wineluis]

y

[wineluis]

thank you

[wineluis]

i think it compiles a bit faster now

[orangy]

@wineluis I would strongly ask you to watch your language. If you don’t like something it’s fine, but you need to put arguments on the table, not rude words.
