06/14/2018, 3:47 PMDoes anyone know of any benchmarks of Kotlin/native vs other more mature equivalent languages (Swift, rust, C++, etc)? I'm interested to know where Kotlin is in it's performance process. I've seen this ( https://github.com/msink/kotlin-pi ), but its just algorithms, without much / any ARC, or OO.

06/14/2018, 4:12 PMYes, kotlin-pi tests only algorithm - performance is almost x1. On the other hand - https://github.com/frol/completely-unscientific-benchmarks tests memory management - performance is x36 times slower to etalon, only CPython is worse - x74. For real applications it will be somewhere in between (x1 - x36)

Is there any reason that shouldn't be the case @olonho?
