title: Does Kotlin provide any performance boosts?
body: <p>Does Kotlin provide any performance boosts? 
  Is there any benchmarking? 
  Is Kotlin faster than Java?
  I found this in the Kotlin website. <a href="https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/comparison-to-java.html" rel="noreferrer">https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/comparison-to-java.html</a>
  Talking about the language features but not performance.</p>
