In today's findings: vaguely menacing graph

Today’s the last day to submit a talk for @kotlinconf.com. Go submit one! Teaching something is a great way to deepen your understanding of it.

Native Image is an *amazing* technology! Having a 150mb+ JAR full of weird compiler stuff (from jrtfs to Swing!) in kotlinc quite easily built with Native Image, and immediately yielding this kind of improvement is outstanding. Looking forward to what's next 👀

The @kotlinlang.org team at @jetbrains.com is working on a @graalvm.org-compiled kotlinc. Early experiments look very promising: > So far, a native image with PGO offers a properly "warmed-up" kotlinc and with up to 20% more peak throughput. Ticket: youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-823...

Dima is a brilliant engineer, and the way he structures any discussion (be it internal or external) is always thoughtful and insightful. Every time I read his musings or talk to him, I learn something new or connect new dots

This discussion on how Kotlin should expose time zone data is super thoughtful. Whatever the outcome I sure appreciate the process.

New Kotlin Language Server goodies are out: github.com/Kotlin/kotli...! A lot of work ahead, but it starts getting its shape 👀

Random quote of the day: income taxes 'required an element of understanding as to why they were needed on the part of the individuals subject to said taxes and this understanding was usually widely lacking'

My *by far* the most favourite talk this year. @Sellmair did an amazing job -- explaining dynamic classloading, DCEVM, continuous builds, Compose internals, anonymous classes naming policy, and more in a deeply technical yet engaging manner

The KotlinConf talks are available online 🎉 Check-out how Compose Hot Reload is implemented: youtu.be/UebhKUdO2sQ?...

There is plenty of amazing stuff announced at KotlinConf. But the thing I am most proud of is our release of Kotlin LSP along with VSC support: github.com/Kotlin/kotli... Damn that was some action!

Futurama was definitely released ahead of its time

If you want to participate in a naming battle, here's your chance! I'd even say it might have an effect similar to deprecating String.capitalize(), but this time with a (hopefully) properly-named replacement

Sebastian Aigner 📡@sebi.io · last yr.

We're reworking one of the sharp edges of kotlinx.coroutines, the `withTimeout` function, which is useful, but has a few funky cancellation corners. 👉🏼 We need a name for the improved replacement function! What would you suggest as a name? (e.g. I'm a fan of `withTimeLimit`!)

When dealing with concurrency problems, I leave comments with my findings even if they aren't really that meaningful (e.g. "don't do X, X leads to logical races" What races? Why?). I used to feel uneasy about that, but damn, every now and then, they save me hours of debugging

Came up with this one when writing an internal blogpost about performance work

Kotlin libraries team is hiring: www.jetbrains.com/careers/jobs... If you are eager to write something you are going to regret (if you are lucky, also be proud of) in 10 years, want to tinker with Kotlin and not afraid of dragons (also: performance, concurrency), drop me a line!

I have a weird quirk about benchmarks -- when I see the JMH score not in the 2-4 digits range, I have to change the output unit so the result would be in the range. Otherwise, I have *really* hard time interpreting/comparing the numbers and error margins. Does anybody else have this at all?

TIL there is a timezone named "Antarctica/Troll". And it delivers on its name, its daylight saving time transition is two hours.

Uploading a PNG logo with a "transparent" background, which is, in fact, not, should be classified as a major crime

The mystery of the day: `arrayOf<Any>(1, 2, 3)` is two times slower than `x1 = 1, x2 = 2, x3 = 3; arrayOf<Any>(x1, x2, x3)` gist.github.com/qwwdfsad/b13...
