How do you make Kotlin native?

Create a new Kotlin/Native project in IntelliJ IDEA

In cases, where you need something very small or short, yes, Kotlin-Native is a very good candidate. The performance will be similar to Go though slower (in general) than Kotlin-JVM . But start time and memory footprint will be smaller.

Another big difference is the memory model : Kotlin/JVM uses the Java memory model, while Kotlin/Native offers its own concurrency and memory model. Also, the dependencies that one can use in Kotlin/JVM and Kotlin/Native projects are different.

However, in the random removal test, Java was over 52 times faster, and Kotlin/Native was 34 times faster (Figure 8).

Kotlin native is often compared to React Native (by simplifying): A mobile application (ios&android) made in React Native is considered as hybrid because it embeds JS for the “brain” and UI build in native code.
