12/10/2019, 8:00 AMinteresting, from https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2019/12/what-to-expect-in-kotlin-1-4-and-beyond/ :
for instance, if you’ve tried the new algorithm for type inference, that’s a part of the new compilerand it was said that new compiler should drastically improve build time 🤔

12/11/2019, 1:20 AMThere are 2 parts of new compiler: backend and frontend
Backend is close to be a part of 1.4 and new type inference also will be available with new backend
New backend and new type interence will not make compilation faster, most probably opposite.
New frontend is what can make it significantly faster, but it on early stage and will not be ready by 1.4 release
