KotlinConf 2019: The best runtime for Kotlin is obviously GraalVM, isn't it? by Oleg Šelajev

Recording brought to you by American Express. https://americanexpress.io/kotlin-jobs #GraalVM is a high-performance runtime for JVM languages, can run node, Ruby, R, Python, allows polyglot apps without performance overhead and is generally amazing. Kotlin is a JVM language and it seems like a match made in heaven. Let's find out! In this session we'll look at how Kotlin programs work on GraalVM, some benchmarks for Kotlin on GraalVM, learn how one can enhance Kotlin programs with snippets in Python and JavaScript, compile Kotlin code and its Java dependencies into native executables and use instant startup of the resulting binaries in the FaaS clouds.
