I’m building an online compiler for C, Python and Kotlin. C and Python work well, but Kotlin compilation takes a long time.

Any feedback on how I can make the compilation faster?

Anyone?

To reduce JVM startup time you could try to use something like http://martiansoftware.com/nailgun/

punitjajo: Maybe you could use kotlin daemon for compilation

@gildor I’ll try that. Sounds like a solid solution.

@n3o59hf Security is important for my solution, so I’ll only go for nailgun if all else fails. Thanks for the suggestion!

Check your network, too. There is a know problem with slow JVM startup otherwise: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-17523
