08/24/2019, 1:29 AMBeen waiting forever for a faster compiler ⏲️ . Good timing since Kotlin Native is being evaluated for a commercial project (a custom IoT based back-end). Do the compiler performance improvements cover incremental compilation?

08/24/2019, 11:25 PMCan confirm that compile times are shorter simple smile . With a PC (equipped with a Intel i5, and SSD) running Linux Mint 19 a simple Kotlin Native program takes around 10 seconds to compile, instead of around 30 seconds which cuts compile times by over 50%. A big thank you goes out to the Kotlin Native team for improving compiler performance 👏.
