What position is Kotlin Native currently at with performance guarantees (eg soft real time - https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2018/02/application-development-in-kotlinnative/ )? Which performance guarantees will Kotlin Native provide when it reaches 1.0 (aka stable)?

We consider keeping GC pauses short important enough.

Which performance guarantees will Kotlin Native provide when it reaches 1.0

Kotlin/Native is 1.3.72 at the moment, with 1.4 under development.

aka stable

The question is too wide to answer anything specific. For particular case (soft real time) see above.

Would it be better to ask the same questions when Kotlin Native is at the 1.4 release candidate stage?

[svyatoslav.scherbina]

I don’t think so.
1.4 is going to be released soon, so I won’t be able to provide new information about performance guarantees at this moment.

In other words look at the release notes when Kotlin 1.4 is released.

[svyatoslav.scherbina]

In other words, we will not have new answers when Kotlin 1.4 is released, because this will be soon, so nothing significant can be developed or fundamentally optimized by that moment.
And your question is still too wide (and will remain so) to answer anything specific.
