well, support can still exist for the subset that is common to Java on desktop and "Dalvik Java", but people will always want to ask questions about the unique features. I think there are a lot of logistics around it that would probably make it not worthwhile for them

Perhaps. I guess we'll have to wait and see. I'm not saying it's likely (I wish it was but probably won't happen)

I do hope though that if it were to happen Kotlin would embrace it

A great way to expose Kotlin to a wider Java audience would be to get it used in the Minecraft modding scene

I believe that is the largest userbase of Java these days. 😛

For a lot of people that’s their first experience with Java so instead it could be their first experience with Kotlin and what they stick with on the JVM

It's already possible to use Kotlin to make Minecraft mods

I started one during my winter break a while ago, but never got back to it due to other things

Sure, it’s possible already, that’s true of pretty much anything Java

But some kind of wrapper to expose a nicer API taking advantage of Kotlin features would probably drive more adoption

KotlinPlugin is a plugin written to show off some basic features of Kotlin KBukkit is a library that has some cool stuff for coding Bukkit with Kotlin Blok is a standalone Minecraft server I'm making (and I'd love contributions!)

I'm also working on SlaK, a Kotlin library for the Slack API

@dean: Awesome, I’ll definitely check that out

btw I used to make Bukkit so I might be able to help out with some things 😛

Hi guys. I want to read N objects from some source and make a list out of these object. What is the most hipster way to do this? My current solution is

(0 until size).toList().map { source.readString() }

how do you guys format functions with long signatures (long name, several arguments with long names/types, long return type)?

all in one massive line or you split it into multiple lines and if so how do you split it?

@kkozmic: never one line

or you can keep the first argument on the first line

loving it @gildor

note, it's just as a proposal as of yet

sure. It is exactly what I had in mind, just wanted to check if the accepted practice is different

I have a map created by

hashMapOf

then when I call

map.values.toList()

, it changes order of my values. I don’t see `treeMapOf’. Which one should I use to preserve order (I want it to be the same as I’ve added it to the map)

How to specify the types on interfaces like

public interface OneParamLambda<R, P> extends NParamLambda {
    R execute(P var1) throws Exception;
}

with lambda expressions?

An anonymous object works, but can it be achieved with a lambda?

@mzgreen: use

linkedMapOf

or simply

mutableMapOf

which does the same thing
