and just another one: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-17767

So much fun if you do nothing else than kotlin for a week to build a presentation 😄

PS: hope those two issues are helpful

The java method

java.util.Locale.getDefault().getISO3Language()

is translated to kotlin as

isO3Language

...I think that is not the intended behaviour since

is

prefix should be used only with boolean value...Can anyone confirm that is not only a bug of mine?

Please report it youtrack kotl.in/issue

Yeah I'll report it, was asking there to know if I've broken something 😅

just not correct case handling 😄 I don't think that this has something todo with boolean handling, bc kotlin doesn't handle boolean values anyway

10/10, boolean are not handled, my brain fails more than sometimes :S

@groostav wow nice link on the slick grid wow

only intended one wow.

I'm not sure that this is the right channel, but here i go. I'm a student of the Computer Science faculty in Udine (IT) and, until three days ago, i was developing my master thesis in Java. At a certain moment, Kotlin came into my mind, probably because i was yelling at Java (which is a language that i love, because i use it since high school and i grow up with him!). So, i was saying that i was yelling at Java because i wanted cool higher order functions, the destructuring declarations and more. So, indeed, i started to think about Kotlin. My thesis was counting just some hundreds lines of code, so i decided to make the big step. I used the conversion tool and then i made my corrections, because not everything was perfect. Now i'm really amazed of how much cleaner and "meaningful" my code is, and i'm also happy for the presence of the features that i wanted. The transition from Java to Kotlin has been really painless for me.

its a great story! thanks for sharing with us simple smile

It can be easily resolved through some design technique, there is a design pattern called Adapter Pattern. Just define a universal interface that would be used by logic layer from both JS code and JVM code. Then define adapters for each platform, implementing the detailed http request code. At runtime, just inject the right adapter into your code based on the platform type.

Anyone here experienced writing an Android + Desktop App in Kotlin, by sharing logic + using TornadoFX for Desktop UI?

(Or even better, JFoenix http://www.jfoenix.com/ for Material Design theme in JavaFX)

I'm pretty interested in doing something like that for a work PoC.

Java is a bit old now, being first developed in 1991. I just did a C# job for four years and I've decided I don't like .NET. Java seems like a backwards step, but Kotlin seems like a forward step so it's a natural choice for me. It seems to address many of the issues I came across when debugging C# code, namely immutability (important for thread safety) and data classes (these are all get....set.....get....set.... in Java and C#).

(A mixture of 'object' and 'class' children)

Anyone familiar with shading the kotlin library to prevent conflicts when two jars have differing versions? I'm a bit new to Gradle and other libraries "just worked" up until I tried to shade Kotlin because of continual issues with exceptions when other jars had old libraries.

takeWhile

Returns a list containing first elements satisfying the given [predicate]

does

takeWhile

work well in above example?

takeWhile is a suitable name ?

@douglarek The first iteration is false, so the takeWhile will end without taking anything

so how can I quit if I find the element in the middle

ok, maybe I find it: singleOrNull

Single will return null if more than one element is found that matches the predicate, if you only want to find the first ocurrence, use

first

And if you want all the ocurrences, use

filter
