i assume because kotlin was written before kotlin existed 😛

The

Intrinsics

class is written in Java presumably to avoid inadvertent recursion

is there a way to force somethin like rawtypes on generics? in my current usecase i do not really want typesafety but work with cast (which will be "safe enough" )

You just cast all your `Thing<*>`s to `Thing<Any?>`s and work with `Any?`s everywhere.

oh yes, thank you. it's too late here i think 🤦‍♂️

is there a way to do this ?

fun <T> save(config: T = T())

is there a way to specify that T needs to have a noarg constructor ?

uhh you could instead have a parameter that takes

() -> T

and pass in

::Foo

i.e. the type constructor

I’m currently facing a typical german problem: sorting with umlauts.

In Java I used to follow guides likes this:

Is there any Kotlin way of sorting strings with umlauts correctly?

e.g.: “Auto, Bank, Öl, Zuhause” -> gets sorted as “Auto, Bank, Zuhause, Öl”. It should be like: “Auto, Bank, Öl, Zuhause”.

🤔

looks like a jcenter problem: https://repo.jfrog.org/artifactory/libs-release-bintray/org/jetbrains/kotlinx/kotlinx-html-jvm/0.7.1/kotlinx-html-jvm-0.7.1.pom?referrer

is this mirrored anywhere else?

Lambdas and DSLs are very cool, but they do rather hide things. IntelliJ's "Structure" pane is pretty much useless when using a DSL like

ktor

or

osiris

- because routes defined like

get("post-list") { req -> ... }

aren't functions. Worse, `Spek`puts everything into the constructor, so test classes are entirely without a body. Doesn't anyone else see this as a bit of problem?

can

companion object

implement

abstract val

members from parent classes? I'd like my property to be created only once, and shared among all instances... but that doesn't seem to work? if not, can somehow parent class require that inherited classes implement a companion object?

hi there! do you know if there is a better way for writing this?

<reified R : Resource, reified I : Any, reified O : Any, T : OperationDescriptor<R, I, O>>

I have to write

R

,

I

and

O

out because I can't have nested generics in Kotlin

the same stands for

Iterable<T>

as well

can anybody help me?

anyone from Facebook here?

Currently, compiler complains that execute does override nothing

struggling to understand how to use reflection to get values out of an

object

hierarchy e.g. i have:

object foo {
  object bar {
    val barval = "123"
    val barval2 = "234"
  }
  object  baz {
    val bazval = "abc"
    val bazval2 = "bcd
  }
}

how can i programmatically get 123, 234, abc, bcd.

foo::class.nestedClasses.forEach{klazz ->
    klazz.memberProperties.forEach{ it: KProperty1<out Any,*>
        println(it)
    }
}

gets me all the properties e.g.

val foo.bar.barval: kotlin.String
val foo.bar.barval2: kotlin.String
val foo.baz.bazval2: kotlin.String
val foo.baz.bazval2: kotlin.String

but i’m unclear on how to actually get those values
