12/09/2019, 7:17 AMFor me it is working fine in a multiplatform project. Probably depends on some factors. Do you run on the latest 1.3.61 since some big IDE speedups landed? (and more coming up) https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2019/12/what-to-expect-in-kotlin-1-4-and-beyond/

What’s your definition of fluent? 🙂 I definitely see how for someone used to performance of Java in IntelliJ might see editing Kotlin as non-fluent

mixed Kotlin + Java backend app
JetBrains response to this is lackluster.
