As one of the use cases "Data analysis and Scientific Computing" was listed.
Could you explain how DA related to native compilation? Because AFAIK performance-critical DA tasks are done in Java on JVM

Because FP computations with C libraries interop shall be rather straightforward

Hi @olonho! Sorry, what's FP? Can't google it 😞

Oh, interesting! I did not know it was a performance bottle neck for DA. I thought it was more about using GPU and stuff.
Do JB consider support porting ML and DA libraries to kotlin-JVM? Because all the necessary algorithms are already implemented in Java, but nobody wants to use them for prototyping
I'am asking because it looks like JB will provide similar ports for C/Python libraries
