*No way aside from AST transformations

Correct

You can do some fun magic with delegates, but you can't do anything like

"foo" = bar()

. You could just define an infix function for that though.

I'd argue your example is evidence why you shouldn't as the semantics of assigning to a literal are not clear. (But that's just my opinion)

Yes it is confusing. As Lovis mentioned I could do it with another assignment operator but that is just as confusing.

Agreed. An infix function with a more descriptive name would be much better here if you ask me, but I'm not familiar with your use case. It could be that

"foo" = bar()

makes perfect sense in some DSL you're writing.

copy that thanks

effectively, anyway. what actually happens in the bytecode or gets generated I'd have to go look

if you want everybody to read it (public getter) then

val myVal = "hello"

k, thanks @agomez

when you have a

var

you can mix different visibility for getter and setter

and if I want a mutable variable, but with private setter

but getter can't less visible that property itself

hmm thanks a lot guys

The current solution I have is to cast Impl constructor arg:

class Impl(foo: Foo<Baz> as Foo<Bar>): Other(foo)

@yoavst but it will block a real thread while waiting for response. I think there should be a way to wrap it into

async

so that it become truly asynchronous, returning Deferred<String>. /cc @elizarov

I'm not saying Fuel is the best lib around, it was the first one popped up in google search :) What I need is just perform http request, asynchronously, and wire it up with coroutines. Maybe there is a standard class or function to do it? I'm kind of a jvm newbie.

I know it will block, that's why I want to wrap it inside async coroutine.

@vaskir see this doc on how to convert callback API to coroutines https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlin-coroutines/blob/master/kotlin-coroutines-informal.md#wrapping-callbacks

thanks!

For those of you interested in Typed Functional Programming in Kotlin we now have beside #functional a channel specific to

Kategory

#kategory. Kategory is a FP library for Kotlin which brings monad comprehensions, applicative builders, emulated higher kinds and other interesting techniques inspired by Typelevel Cats in Scala / Haskell to Kotlin. https://github.com/kategory/kategory

is there a split function for collections? Something like

(1..100).split(40) == (1..40, 41..80, 81..100)

I think this is being discussed here https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/master/proposals/stdlib/window-sliding.md

@here How can we take an Int compliment in Kotlin Like ~2 in Java

@menegatti thanks

@kartikpatodi Try converting Java code to Kotlin using automatic converter instead of trying to ping 9K users.

Thanks @elect
