12/21/2016, 5:27 PMis there a library that parses a kotlin string and gives me an ast? - c

12/21/2016, 5:49 PM@adam-mcneilly The smart cast didn't work because a var could be changed by another thread after the if test but before the call to hashcode(). If you declare the string as a val the smart cast will work. - a

12/21/2016, 5:58 PMmore precisely, it means the variable decoracted with
can not be changed once it’s assignedval - a

12/21/2016, 7:45 PMbut I might be leaning toward the extreme: writing in a Lispy/Clojure way just because I can 🙂 - r
roberto.guerra
12/21/2016, 7:45 PMI’m sure the Kotlin idiomatic way lies somewhere in the middle - a
adam-mcneilly
12/21/2016, 8:05 PMI think I'm most hyped up about how there's an active slack around the language right now. I'm learning a lot more by stopping in here to ask quick questions than dive in blind. Thanks again. 🙂 - r
