Im calling it now, I think kotlin will get a CLR backend in the next 12 months

@karelpeeters Hmmm... that's a good idea. Let me play with that....

Copying this from #functional as it didn't get any response 😛 How would one implement a

bufferUntilChanged

with either manual iteration or, preferably, stdlib operators? As an example:

listOf(1,1,1,2,2,5,2,2,2,1,1,1,3,3,3).bufferUntilChanged() = [[1,1,1],[2,2],[5],[2,2,2],[1,1,1],[3,3,3]]

I feel like the new `pairwise`operator from the 1.2 EAP could be useful but I can't come up with a clean way of doing this

@karelpeeters for loop is ok, i'm just trying to make it more functional

@Bob Well the compiler already does this for normal if statements on sealed classes, so it's not really a problem if there are many of them.

if someone can explain this it will be great: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45021985/why-does-creates-compilation-error-on-different-types-in-kotlin

Who came up with all these terrible android apis 😄

if interested, I started porting the LearnOpenGL tutorial to kotlin, https://github.com/java-opengl-labs/learn-OpenGL/

@orangy if you are looking to make diagrams (like flowcharts), I use Dia heavily https://sourceforge.net/projects/dia-installer/

Has anyone recently published to bintray? I'm getting an NPE when trying to publish 😞

Are any of the [JB] team members at liberty to comment on the future of Upsource and/or potentially unannounced VCS hosting products? At one point I believe I read a jetbrains/upsource blog post that stated plans to make upsource a git hosting solution but it has never come to fruition (AFAIK). I am quite interested in a full jetbrains ecosystem and vcs hosting seems to be the primary hole left remaining. It would be quite nice to have first party vcs/review, ci, IDE, and issue tracking integration.

Is there a better way to create a 2D

DoubleArray

now? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27512636/two-dimensional-int-array-in-kotlin

Another random number-related question. When I have a function that accepts a

Number

parameter instead of a more specific type like

Double

or

Int

, can that cause overhead with boxing? Or will the compiler try to avoid that?

is there a Kotlin chat in Telegram?

Guys. Is there a way I can delete a YouTrack account? I attempted a login with Github, but seeing as I have multiple emails registered, it just picked the first (wrong) one, and now I have 2 accounts. Is it possible for me to delete this new one? Thanks

Any studios hiring for Kotlin devs in London? 😄

Not Kotlin related, but does somebody happen to know how to decompress a zlib byte array? There is a stackoverflow post, but that only has big complicated solutions that involve manually copying byte arrays and such: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6173920/zlib-compression-using-deflate-and-inflate-classes-in-java

I'm working on a book on Kotlin and Functional Programming. Need a co-author. Anyone interested?

Just because you can, does not mean that you should

object `┻━┻` : Exception()

class `╯°□°）╯` {
 companion object {
        infix fun `︵`(e: Exception) : Nothing {
            throw e
        }
    }
}
fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    `╯°□°）╯` `︵` `┻━┻`
}

I wonder when we're gonna get bitwise operators. Or if it'll even happen

Cause these infix functions are the worst bloody thing about the language for me

wow, I didn't know F# was capable of this https://github.com/rspeele/Rezoom.SQL

now we just need emoji autocomplete support in intellij vcs integration 😄

sometimes you just want to use the result of the left-hand-side inside of a lambda whether or not it's null

can we get some custom google and rtfm “emoji” added to go along with the stackoverflow response

how is the

name: Type

notation of properties/parameters called?

What is everyone's thoughts on having something like Swift's 'mutating' function modifier?

Interesting question in some other chat: If I have

/users/{id}

as specified resource access URL, and then

{id}

should be an integer, and then client requests

/users/bad

, should server respond with 404 or 400?

I just believe singularity won't be achieved in any reasonable future

I have been doing some Scala lately, have to say I prefer Option.. did not think I would…
