> Doing the same in Kotlin, laptop freezes, android studio freeze, time to get a coffee

I work in Kotlin every day and my laptop never freezes.

I'm sure compile times are shorter in Go (after all, that's one of Go's main selling points). But compiling Kotlin code doesn't seem to be a huge bottleneck in my experience (and I have worked in some other languages that had truly atrocious compile times cough Swift cough). In fact, it usually takes longer for Spring to boot than for the Kotlin code to compile.
