i.e.

fun String.scrambleReadable(): String {
    if (length <= 3) return this

    fun String.scrambleReadableWord(): String {
        return this.asSequence().toList().subList(1, length - 1).shuffled().joinToString("")
    }
    
    return this.split(' ').map { it.scrambleReadableWord() }.joinToString (" ")
}

I ran into a issue with unsigned generics: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-29136?project=kt In the meantime, does anyone know a workaround (other than creating a wrapper class)?

Hi guys, Hope everyone is doing good, Just wanted to know your views about kotlin multi-platform and do you think it would be as good or even better when compared to flutter or react native.

Do I need anything special in Kotlin 1.5 to use

@JvmStatic

for JUnit Parametrized tests? I get the following:

JUnitException: Could not find method ....

which is what I would get with old Kotlin if I omitted the

@JvmStatic

annotation.

Figured it out, it was due to the methods being

private

or

internal

which apparently doesn't work any longer. Doesn't matter to me.

Is there a place in the Kotlin Slack for submitting questions for the Kotlin 1.5 event ( https://blog.jetbrains.com/kotlin/2021/05/kotlin-1-5-0-released/ )?

Dear Kotlin team, i just wanted to say that you’re doing a great job with the documentation/sample code/examples. I’m building a few toy projects with KMM & Ktor and i have to say that the examples help a lot, which i think is the most critical thing for helping adoption. Keep it up!

Hi guys! I'm just getting started with android dev (kotlin) and I feel like I'm stuck. I'm looking for a mentor and peers I could study with (preferably newbies). I also have a couple of premium courses we could share or use as a reference. Is this the right place to ask? Feel free to DM me if you're interested 😄
