A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Has anyone benchmarked the new Kotlin native memory model vs the old one? I’d be curious.

presume you've seen this, but just in case not.

```Now we are working on the performant production-ready approach and are looking at more sophisticated and efficient garbage collector algorithms, like concurrent mark-sweep. We would appreciate it if you paid special attention to the possible performance issues of the development preview. It showed 5 times regression on some of our examples. If you observe anything more significant in your applications, please report it to a dedicated meta-issue.```

ah - that’s where I was getting that it was 5X slower. I had forgotten where I got that from

thanks! I’ll take that as cannon for now
