I guess I didn’t realize

inner class

was a thing

why isn’t that

companion class

what does the

companion

modifier? do?

It's

object

because it's a singleton, and the

companion

makes it behave a bit like Java's static: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/object-declarations.html#companion-objects

My google-fu is failing me on this one. I’d like to use a Kotlin property to implement the getter and setter from a Java interface my class implements. Is this possible? I get an error: The following declarations have the same JVM signature. Can I tell the compiler that I know that and it’s actually what I want?

No, but there is a youtrack issue with a lot of discussion on this.

I hope this improves the absolutely abysmal performance mixed projects have been suffering from for the past 2+ years. It really is a major flaw in the whole idea of Kotlin and Java coexisting in one project

Wow, IntelliJ is so much nicer now that we don't have to restart on every plugin update ❤️

Would be nice, if someone could help

Congrats to Roman and job spectacularly well done to Andrey. Looking forward to seeing what’s next for you both!

And, back to work 🙂 We are starting the 1.4.20 release activities. Please be patient, it will take a bit of time. It will be officially out only after the blog post appears in blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin. In the next couple of days you may see new artifacts appear in various repositories. Since we don’t have full control of all the systems involved, you may temporarily observe an inconsistent state of the 1.4.20 world. Please don’t be alarmed, the blog post will notify you when we reach a consistent state 🙂 Looking forward to your feedback on 1.4.20 when it’s ready. Have a nice Kotlin!

When you cast inline class to an interface it implements, it gets boxed. Is there any future possibility we can mark or do something such that they may not get boxed?

Server-Side Development with Kotlin: Frameworks and Libraries It is quite common to use existing frameworks and libraries for backend application development. If we look at most of the popular frameworks in the Java ecosystem, many of them actually support Kotlin out of the box. There are a lot of Java libraries too. You can use these frameworks and libraries in your Kotlin […]
