Did i understand the k2 talk from today correctly in that if we are explicit with our return types we can expect a potential performance boost in compilation in the future?

this video describes a model change that sort of implies the answer is yes to your question. it also implies the goal is overall a compiler performance boost.

It's just logical that explicit types make things faster. There's no need for type inference. 😉

ok good to know
