According to this Data Engineering interview (beginning around 8m in) the improvements begin with moving from the JVM which has a latency impact. But the real improvement is that fsync on a file handle puts in a barrier in the FS. RedPanda

I can't find the benchmarks so it's not possible to know what they measured, how they measured it, and if it's a relevant measurement. Skimming the repository it doesn't seem to be an unreasonable claim. C++ with Seastar

I have some friends/colleagues who use kotlin in personal projects and they enjoy it. But I've never heard them talk about those features. And they certainly aren't enjoying it now because of soon-to-be-released features. But

Same experience here. JDK11 and beyond added some more enthusiasm to base Java. If Loom lands I think a lot of people will also lose interest in Kotlin as well (because AIUI a big draw for Kotlin is the async story).

Small mistake: there are references to inferno, the operating system which limbo was a key component in. The broad idea is the same: Go has a clear heritage in systems that Rob Pike already worked on.
