If you’re looking to add a static method to a Java class from Kotlin, then no

Thanks Andrey, I just had the illumination

😍

About extension, is there a proposal to create extension on class to add new extension/implementation?

I just submitted a feature request for first-class Kotlin support in Google/Firebase Cloud Functions, you can star it: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/122945604

Hi devs, I just joined this channel and am glad to be here.

Heya, Thank you for the invitation. I'm a beginner in the field of Kotlin. I look forward to start contributing to the language, and learn on the fly. I also intend to learn Kotlin from the core, because, my project work intend to bring Kotlin to the downstream so we can have more Android newest toolkit available.

Hi guys, thank you for the invitation. we have a springboot service in production written in kotlin and we love it 🎉

Hi Guyz, thanks for the invite.....New to programming (goal is build an app) and it's really been fun learning Kotlin after studying the basics of Java...

Hi, any recommendations to design a JNI interface with: Just a few functions, no concurrency, safety prioritized over performance? I wonder if e.g. it's safer to pass JSON that's are serialized / deserialized on each side instead of structs/classes.

it feels like I should be able to make this shorter without writing an extension function

JDK 1.6 is unsupported by anyone at this point, as far as I know.

The French application StopCovid for privacy-aware contact tracing (they documented and freed all the protocol, code of client and servers everything) is using Kotlin: https://gitlab.inria.fr/stopcovid19/stopcovid-robertsdk-android (go to the project itself to see all the other repos)

unfortunately the server seems to be in java (8…)

Why most tutorials want you to use intellij instead of android studio?

Question: If someone wanted to post about a job posting, is there a channel to do that? (Ex: #jobs, except that channel doesn’t exist)

Hi, can someone link me up with the upstream tarfile of Kotlin v-1.3.30 I fail to find it.

is there a more elegant way of handling exceptions?

well friends, I seem to remember one of the promises of kotlin was "no more (java-style) boiler-plate." Well I wanted to wrap Win32/Kernel32 to make using it from java a little more idiomatic. What I came up with was this:

//usage:
Kernel32::SetEnvironmentVariable.invokeForSuccessOrThrowLastError("EMPOWER_LGO_TRACE", "TRUE")

The key here is that I wanted to convert from Win32's C-compatible

GetLastError()

into java exceptions. To get this I needed a good whack of boiler-plate. see attached kt. Am I missing something? Would arrow let me do something more clever here? I think at its roots the kotlin type signatures for functions do not let me write a single type that captures different arity. tl;dr anybody know how i can write the boiler-plate in KotlinExtensions.kt more compactly?

Hello, I am looking at the compiler code of the Kotlin. Is there some documentation or wiki where the flow is explained? I am trying to see how the Java class is getting created via the kotlin. I am in process of digging a code these days, I would appericiate some input from the core kotin developers.
