Well that's exactly kotlin's problem 🙂 Since it is solved for Kt collections, why not in J8 streams support? Added another map to the end of the chain (seems silly to me, but works):

.map { it as SomeSpecificType }

While reading about Companion objects, I’ve found this Note that, even though the members of companion objects look like static members in other languages, at runtime those are still instance members of real objects Can you tell me, please, why they are used with different form then if they are instance members ?

seems like 1.2 is looking to change that...

Look at how screwed all of Groovy is because everything is public.

As an API writer I’m actually looking forward to Java Modules should they ever be released

@groostav Use compile-testing from Google

Hi, i was playing around with inline, noinline ect. and i managed to get a reproducible back-end exception from the compiler ( Exeption See: https://pastebin.com/6WU3Tesk ) Before i report the issue: are there any additional logfiles/dumpfiles generated from the compiler, that are of use for the Dev-Team?

hello, does anyone can help me with

K2JVMCompiler

?

anyone here know the demo app

thinkter

well?

"Run as" crashes Eclipse Oxygen

i know this is heathen level stuff, but i'm literally asking for a friend who has not seen the intellij light yet

So, the

when

clause must only be exhaustive when it's a single-expression function or assignment?

I have a Java class:

public final class Utils {
  public static void somethingUseful() {}
}

I don't see any suggestion to import the static method

Utils.somethingUseful()

when writing Kotlin code. Do I need to configure the Kotlin IDEA plugin?

you're welcome 😄

hi guys, just i'm a beginner to kotlin progra, any one can explain what is the difference between abstract and interface in kotlin?

Arrays are funny.

In Kotlin all classes are final by default. What is the best practice to make a class

open

only in unit test?

looks like coroutines jar needs some permissons from security manager. I'll take a look and if it's safe to grand those permissions I'll fix it

AssertJ only on my side

If I'm trying to Kotlinize and add some convenience to this Java API where there's `Thing SomeSingleton.getThing(String)`(a lookup method which may return null), what would be the most idiomatic way to add this to CharSequence?

fun CharSequence.getThing(): Thing?

or

val CharSequence.thing: Thing?

feels wrong because it makes seem like the Thing belongs to the CharSequence.

fun CharSequence.toThing(): Thing?

feels wrong because it seems like this should throw an exception if the Thing is not found I'm not really sure what's left. Thoughts?

ok, If I go by that way, learning by my knowledge of python, that's ok

I will say though, you'll sometimes find explanations of things to be... lacking

Hey Kotlin enthusiasts.. I just wrote a little class for a binary clock I'm building, and have made the code as small as I possibly could with my limited knowledge of Kotlin. Though I think there are still some optimisations to be made. Wondering if anyone here would care to have a look... https://github.com/mplacona/Binary-Watch/blob/master/app/src/main/java/rocks/androidthings/binaryclock/MainActivity.kt#L36

@jschneider In Java I think

throws Throwable

implies that a subclass of Throwable may be thrown. So perhaps you don't need the generic type param, from the Java perspective at least. Are you using type E elsewhere in the method?
