I prefer to keep it as short as possible and forward the boilerplate work to the lib

simply creating a byteBuffer given a collection of glm classes

Does anyone have any idea why do functions with default parameters upon compiling get a unused Object parameter? E.g.

fun foo(bar: Int = 0, baz: Int) {
    /* ... */
}

Compiles to

public static final void foo(int bar, int baz) {
}

// $FF: synthetic method
// $FF: bridge method
public static void foo$default(int var0, int var1, int var2, /* what is this? -> */Object var3) {
  if ((var2 & 1) != 0) {
     var0 = 0;
  }

  foo(var0, var1);
}

can any1 specify multiple TypeConverters with Room+Kotlin

No bugs, but whole team working on a new product launch through all the holidays 🙂 Happy New Year from hard working bees 🐝

Bee Careful

is there a better place to get Room help?

I normally like to fix things but it’s been 10 hours now 😕

Is this intentional, or is it some bug that is being worked on?

class Foo(val bar: List<String> = listOf(), val baz: Int)
println(Foo(7)) // errors here

errors produced:

Type mismatch: inferred type is Int but List<String> was expected
No value passed for parameter baz

This is counter to how I expect default values to work

Hey folks! Join the new #kotlin-website channel, dedicated to kotlinlang.org and play.kotlinlang.org websites. There we’ll share news, discuss plans and problems.

Hello Community, how to work with Kotlin/Native or cinterops on aarch64-host? Is there a configuration-option in gradle for this? If I try to use it, I got an error: host linux aarch64 not supported. Is this true? I mean I have working LLVM, NDK, Clang, JVM all on aarch64, but kotlin/native not working.

Is there a roadmap for ExperimentalPathApi? in which version is it going to be stable? (is there a link to a roadmap? if so, could be handy to include it in the annotation)

Is it possible to add

grammar-tools

library to the JetBrains space until it is published to MavenCentral? https://github.com/Kotlin/grammar-tools

Hi everyone <!here>! This is a friendly heads-up that in 1-2 hours this channel will be renamed to #announcements and become read-only. For all new users, #getting-started will replace #general as a channel where they can ask questions. ℹ️ You can find more about the changes for this Slack space in this proposal and the two latest pinned messages in this channel.

so can flood here a bit for last time?

Goodbye #general!

has renamed the channel from "general" to "announcements"

🆕 S Hi everyone! We continue to implement changes to this Slack. 1. As we want this space to be straightforward, we will try to keep the number of channels to a minimum and avoid duplicates. That is why we have limited permissions for creating new channels to admins only. If you would like to create a new channel, please reach out via #meta for help. 2. We have implemented an onboarding workflow for newcomers. It should help new members get familiar with our Code of Conduct and Basic Usage Guidelines. It also contains a list of channels, which will help newcomers find their bearings.

📣 K The call for content contributions is still open! During our Kotlin Premier event we encouraged you to create all kinds of learning materials to advance the community. You still can join the movement and post your videos, articles, samples, and more in the #event21-community-content channel until November 8. ℹ️ Read this document for topics and other details. 🎁 Not only can you share your experience and help the community, but you can also get one of 10 Kotlin-branded blankets and promotion for your resources in the official channels.

🆕 🗂️ 📣 A big announcement for all library developers – Dokka has made it to Beta! 🎉 Please try the new HTML output format and share your feedback with us in the #dokka channel. ℹ️ Read more in the blog post. What’s next for Dokka? We’re going to: • Stabilize HTML output based on your feedback • Include Dokka in the Kotlin Gradle plugin • Fix bugs and polish other features Additional output formats (different from HTML), an API for plugin developers, and full support for Java are in our plans but out of the scope of this stable release. We’re going to run a series of interviews with users to help us prioritize our work on these features. Keep an eye out for more about this in #dokka

📣 ✏️ Hi everyone! We’ve done some housekeeping for Compose-related channels to ensure they remain convenient for the multiple discussions of the skyrocketing Compose community! 🚀 There are 3 main updates: • ✏️ The #compose channel is now designated for discussing general Compose topics unrelated to any particular platform, such as the common API and Compose design principles. • 🤖 We created the new #compose-android channel to discuss anything related to Android-specific Compose APIs, topics like integration with Android, and Android Studio tooling. Join the new channel! • stackoverflow We want to encourage everyone in the community to post StackOverflow-style questions on StackOverflow. If you think your question fits well there, please consider moving it. Questions will be more easily discoverable for other people on the internet, making Compose channels more unique and interesting to follow. Please use the relevant tags [compose], [android-jetpack-compose]. We’ve updated descriptions in all Compose channels. Please check them out for more details.
