Kotlin 1.9.0 features beta of advanced K2 compiler
Kotlin 1.9.0, the latest version of JetBrains’ statically typed language that has become critical in Android mobile development, features a beta of the performance-boosting K2 compiler for the JVM.
Also with the Kotlin 1.9.0 release, unveiled July 5, basic support is offered in K2 for Kotlin/Native and multiplatform projects. K2 has been geared to boost performance, unify all platforms Kotlin supports, speed up development of new language features, and provide an API for compiler extensions. K2 is due to become the default stable compiler in Kotlin 2.0.
