Not really. Kotlin/native is still super experimental and graal isn't exactly that easy either.

And somehow Nim has more support? This is a double standard non-sens. Btw you can address the startup time (which is reasonable btw, and x2 faster since kotlin 1.4-m1) without aot with tools like http://martiansoftware.com/nailgun/

I'm just saying that currently it's not trivial to compile a kotlin/jvm project to native. Once you start using dependencies things start to get really hairy. It's not as easy as `go build`.

I myself am hoping that either kotlin or Scala can finish their native compilers or Graal can make compiling jvm bytecode trivial.
