@kirillrakhman I’ll definitelly upvote, thanks!

@yole OK. Is there a plan?

no, not at this time

Another question, I am using kotlin recently to analyze data. Often I need to deal with 2 or more adjacent items in a list. What's the idiomatic/recommended way to do it in Kotlin? (0..size - 2).forEach {...} ? subList(0, size - 1).zip.drop(1).forEach {...}?

take(size - 1).zip(drop(1)).forEach {...}

a window function was proposed a while ago

it's implemented in 1.1: https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/master/proposals/stdlib/window-sliding.md

in 1.0, there is no particular recommendation; you can use the variant that looks best to you

@yole cool, looking forward to it

@happy15 in the meantime, you can simply copy paste the function from the 1.1 branch

@kirillrakhman good idea. But which branch to look at? So many 1.1-* branch...

master

https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/compare/rr/cy/window-slidingshould also contains the most recent version

@yole are you sure it's actually merged in 1.1?

or didn't you mean that it's merged, just that it's planned?

I was sure it was merged, but apparently it wasn't. @cy do you know why?

because there are open questions

I personally believe they are not so serious so we had to merge it few months ago

I suspect it is because @ilya.gorbunov still not sure that is is important enough and there is nothing I can do with it 🙂

possible solution is to extract it from kotlin branch and publish it separately so people can simply copy-paste it

@cy what is not important enough? The api or the open questions?

sliding window functions

@cy So someone ( @ilya.gorbunov ) is still not sure whether we need them? Is it what you are saying?

In that case I think we can lobby them

I for one support the addition

Because sliding window functions is one of the most missed features from stdlin

yes, you better to vote for it if you really need it 🙂

As you wish

Spamming can easily be seen and ignored. That doesn’t help resolve the issue(s) @ilya.gorbunov may be having with the proposal. I would rather list what’s not good and then help resolve them.
