Hey, can we expect significant compilation time improvements in 2019? <https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin-native/issues/733>

I am asking this because I think there is going to be an interesting competition on server side between Go, JVM languages compiled as GraalVM native images (including Kotlin) and Kotlin/Native. So far the biggest blocking issue I found from my quick test of Kotlin/Native is the compilation speed, especially compared to Go which is maybe less expressive, but minimalist, simple and super fast to compile. Currently, compilation speed is the main blocking point I see in Kotlin/Native.

Personally both compilation speed and performance made me reconsider my language choice for my game engine, it's scary to see that nobody care

and i can't even find an official voice about this issue, it is completely ignored

my guess is they are busy working hard on rethinking the concurrency model, wich is understandable, they should communicate a bit more about their roadmap imo
