Hi All, a new Kotlin Multiplatform library - FuzzyWuzzy-Kotlin. Useful for fuzzy string matching/string similarity scoring. Builds to JVM, iOS, js, macOS, linux, wasm, win (only iOS, JVM, JS are tested). https://github.com/willowtreeapps/fuzzywuzzy-kotlin

I attempted to write something about higher-order functions: https://jacquessmuts.github.io/post/generic_interface_and_methods/

Don’t get why people keep publishing free content behind a paywall (aka Medium). It’s not cool!

Ktor is now on trial on ThoughtWorks Technology Radar Vol. 20 https://www.thoughtworks.com/de/radar/languages-and-frameworks/ktor

Nice overview, picture is somehow true https://twitter.com/jivimberg/status/1130526124168155137?s=09

🎉 Kotlin community now has a place to practice and test algorithmic programming skills. Welcome JetBrains and Codeforces collaboration at Kotlin Heroes programming contest. You can join #codeforces for discussion. https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2019/05/22/kotlin-heroes-programming-contest/

☝️ was a really cool article to read. I've already gone through a lot of learning on test driving android applications, but the way the author covers every little detail of how they solved their problems looked like it could be really insightful for someone new to TDD. It's unfortunate that he kind of blurred the scope of testing, waiting for 3 seconds for the snackbar to disappear, but not a bad start at all.

I'm starting a new Kotlin Machine Learning project to demo different from-scratch ML algorithms and libraries. It recommends light/dark font against different background colors. I just implemented a logistic regression from scratch.

Using logistic regression in Kotlin as an alternative to Naive Bayes, to classify text. Here's the Kotlin implementation:

the book is great and applies to any language this week, i tried to use kotlin’s stdlib to write as few characters as possible to solve the problem would appreciate any insight/improvement/comment https://blog.frankel.ch/exercises-programming-style/3/

Admin please create a separate channel for Kotlin-Multiplatform

A neural network built completely from scratch in Kotlin. Instead of using nasty calculus and backpropagation, it uses simple random-based hill climbing or simulated annealing to optimize the node weights/biases.

Hi, I've just published an article about Kotlin Smart Casting! Feedback is welcome https://brunoaybar.com/kotlin-smart-casting

@elizarov any reason behind the name name “Flow”?

Hi, I wrote an article about Kotlin & WatchService - an example how to wrap existing Java API with Kotlin - a practical use of some language features such as: extensions, channels, sealed classes & implementation by delegation. https://medium.com/@vishna/kotlin-watchservice-a-better-file-watcher-using-channels-coroutines-and-sealed-classes-7ab5c9df3ada

A Result type with no explicit custom state or error checking, it's helping me a lot in my projects with coroutines https://github.com/bloderxd/result

Would be great to see one or more of the multipatform (or any kotlin) samples turn into a GitHub project template: https://github.blog/2019-06-06-generate-new-repositories-with-repository-templates/

It is time to pay tribute to Rx and to Reactive Streams and to explore their relation to Kotlin Flows https://medium.com/@elizarov/reactive-streams-and-kotlin-flows-bfd12772cda4
