Dive into the K2 compiler’s performance benchmarks and learn how to measure performance in your own projects.

Kotlin is a modern programming language developed by JetBrains, designed to interoperate with Java and run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). With features like null safety, type inference, and extension functions, Kotlin offers a concise and expressive syntax for building robust and scalable applications. Developers can learn Kotlin's language features, explore its ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, and leverage Kotlin for developing Android apps, server-side applications, and multi-platform projects.

The K2 compiler brings significant performance improvements, with compilation speed gains of up to 94%. The new architecture has shown the biggest improvement in the analysis phase. Performance tests were conducted on the Anki-Android and Exposed projects. You can collect your own performance statistics for Kotlin projects using the provided performance management tool.
