> I was so curious about the K2 compiler that, driven by curiosity I made tests to measure compilation times with it, and to my surprise I got the exact results that many videos talked about. And improvement of  1.5 to 2 factor in compilation speed. Ktor is quite amazing because it works very well with coroutines, and I woulnd't image it otherwise. I do not know Kandy, but I'm sure to test that sometime soon.
