on the same subject
david delabassée and i submitted a talk at oracle code one
on kotlin and fn (oracle serverless thing)

[kenkyee]

Curious if they addressed the startup time issues with the JVM... Though if they don't, they're make more money 😁

[nfrankel]

that’s a very good point

[orangy]

That would be pretty bad if they were starting new JVM for each function, I suppose it’s keeping a (hibernated) runtime, no?

[nfrankel]

i’ll have to dig into that if the talk is accepted 😉

[orangy]

Tell us when you know 🙂

[kenkyee]

All the comparisons I've seen with jvm serverless is that they're twice as slow and use twice as much memory as JavaScript. I'd just use Kotlin/js if I really wanted to keep using Kotlin for that 🙂
Go is the fastest...

[orangy]

I wonder how Go can be serverless, given it doesn’t even have an ABI?

[uhe]

we're using Kotlin in an amazon lambda and calling the cold lambda takes like 10 seconds... it's crazy

[orangy]

😱 but should be the same as Java, right?

[uhe]

yea, I didn't really test it, though, since we started with Kotlin right away.
