    So I'm 100% behind adts

    So clean in Scala as well

    But kotlins support is a bit weaker

    Lets explore the adt route

    In our case ...it allows a bit of untangling IMO

    But yea I agree with you that Kotlin’s support is weak ...I wish it had better pattern matching as well

    I don't even know w hat is an ADT

    My knowledge on functional structures is very limited xD

    They are very similar to an enum except that unlike enums ..they can have unique payloads
  • e

    EarthCitizen

    01/02/2020, 6:33 PM
    And in the case of Scala and Kotlin ...unique functions

    Well, sealed classes have that, don't they?
  • e

    EarthCitizen

    01/02/2020, 6:38 PM
    Yes ...sealed classes are ADTs
  • e

    EarthCitizen

    @LeoColman A good example use case for ADTs is an AST ...each node can potentially hold different values, like string or int, but yet not all have to support a common interface contract
  • e

    In Java when just using interfaces ...what happens is that implementations throw NotSupported exceptions for parts of the interface that are not used

    Very messy

    I just don't like kotlins insistence they're classes

    Yeah that’s weird

    When having 1 Arb and 1 Prog as parameters to forAll, which takes higher precedence: Prog getting exhausted or number of iterations passed in?
  • s

    sam

    01/02/2020, 8:07 PM
    You pass iterations to the arb
  • s

    sam

    01/02/2020, 8:07 PM
    So they are both exhausted
  • s

    sam

    01/02/2020, 8:07 PM
    If you're talking about concat
  • e

    EarthCitizen

    01/03/2020, 4:15 AM
    I meant in forAll
  • s

    sam

    01/03/2020, 5:50 AM
    You don't pass iterations to forAll in the current new design

    Working on testing android from within KotlinTest

    LeoColman

    01/03/2020, 6:48 PM
    With that we'll have an easy way to add android-specific matchers (something I've been working on) and extensions
  • l

    LeoColman

    01/03/2020, 7:34 PM
    For that I'll need some help on setting up JUnit4 again, @sam

    I'll currently hard-code it to use v3.4.2
