📣 IntelliJ 2017.1 is released, grab it while it is hot!

@orangy finally! been waiting for a gradle integration bug fix 😉

time to jump on the next eap

hi all, can one call a Kotlin extension method from Groovy nicely ?

if by nicely you mean as an static method, then yes

I guess similar to how you can call it from Java.

unfortunately for some reason the Kotlin show bytecode/decompile is not working, but if I have something like this: fun Amount<Currency>.toDecimal() : BigDecimal = BigDecimal(quantity).movePointLeft(token.defaultFractionDigits)

I certainly can’t call amount.toDecimal()

of course I should just stay in Kotlin 🙂

Of course. In Java or Groovy you call it with receiver as first argument.

Starting my second Hilangro development livestream in 15m! https://www.youtube.com/c/DmitryJemerov/live https://github.com/yole/hilangro

Does Jetbrains publish a roadmap (besides the blogposts) or any official documentation on the plans for long term support of Kotlin?

What do you mean by “long term support”?

@orangy maybe that you won’t get bored with your little experiment and “donate kotlin to the community” aka abandon it

or maybe he’s stuck on 1.0.x 🙂

yeah

@orangy I guess I just mean, what do you guys mean by long term support?

If there is no answer that's OK I was just wondering if there was anything official like "we plan to continue development on this for X years and beyond" or something

I am putting together a proposal for my company to switch to Kotlin and this is a question that has come up

we plan to continue, period 🙂 We can’t predict the future, may be tomorrow someone invents genetic language for some AI system and all languages become obsolete.

haha

I guess that would be a good position to be in if that happens. Though my landlord might want me to get into AI so I can pay the rent.

But for any foreseeable future we have a lot to do, and are not going to stop.

Awesome, thanks for the response!

@orangy, I read an interview with Terrence Parr the other day about ANTLR where he said he finally feels like it’s pretty much where it needs to be (he started in ‘86) so doubtful a genetic language would cause an immediate ablation.. 🙂 my bigger K concern would be that Java announcement that they are just going to more or less feature match it, giving their hostages little reason to leave their encampment..

@RunWith(SpringRunner::class) <-- why is that not supposed to be @RunWith(SpringRunner::class.java) ?
