Do you know why the box tests need the "minimal-for-test" variant of the stdlib? <https://github.com/krzema12/kotlin-python/blob/ab198949a5378bbdd62c905ac30e2b044f6f8d17/python/box.tests/build.gradle.kts#L72|https://github.com/krzema12/kotlin-python/blob/ab198949a5378bbdd62c905ac30e2b044f6f8d17/python/box.tests/build.gradle.kts#L72> I'm asking because when decoupling Python's stdlib from JS's I'm having some trouble with the minimal stdlib. Would be cool to understand and document the purpose of it :slightly_smiling_face:

Afaiu to speed up the compilation. Take a look at its build gradle – some packages are excluded. And replaced by no-op implementations in sources

I'm tempted to see how much longer the tests will take with the full-blown library :)

I'm assuming the penalty is only one-time, when compiling the library at the beginning

At least I remember when using only one type of library, we have a changed number of passed tests...

That’s true — it’s needed to speed up tests (compilation).
Depending on how do you “process” IR it may affect compilation time or not. :man-shrugging:
I guess, you lower all or part of dependencies every time so compilation/test time will grow with growing your dependencies (stdlib).
