This slide deck is currently being processed and will be available here once that process is complete. At busy times, it may take a little while to make it through the queue.

This talk will be an exploration of how to read bytecode, understand what it’s doing, and make informed decisions as a result. We’ll compare and contrast examples in Java and Kotlin from the bytecode level to see how they work and their respective costs.
