Discover efficient Kotlin coding techniques in this GeeCON 2022 conference talk by Marcin Moskała. Learn how to optimize performance-critical parts of your code, potentially saving energy, reducing server costs, and improving scalability. Explore strategies such as using object declarations, caching, heavy object lifting, and inline modifiers for functions with functional type parameters. Understand the costs of inline modifiers and how to indicate units of measure. Delve into collection processing, comparing Iterable and Sequence, and learn when to prefer Sequence for big collections with multiple processing steps. Gain insights on associating elements to maps, using groupingBy instead of groupBy, and leveraging Arrays with primitives for performance-critical processing. Master the art of creating efficient Kotlin code that can make a significant impact on your application's performance and resource utilization.
