Just wrote a first article on Kotlin DSLs https://medium.com/@dumazy/writing-dsls-in-kotlin-part-1-7f5d2193f277 Feel free to comment or discuss

I know there have been discussion about adding "proper" bit manipulation to Kotlin, and I'd like to also see some of Java's static Integer methods added to Int's companion object (so they could be used in platform independent code). I doubt it would be worth adding to the standard library, but perhaps to a kotlinx math library? This could include: - reverse bits - unsigned operations (especially compare) - highest/lowest one bit - leading/trailing zeros and maybe some others.

Curious what folks here have to say about this https://www.techyourchance.com/kotlin-vs-java-whole-story/

Well, sometimes on the Friday evening with beers we all can post something like “Tabs vs Spaces”, or “am I the best moderator of all language communities ever?“ 😄 Jokes aside, I think best way would be for people to tell @akshaychordiya that it is neither entertaining nor useful, and he will delete his post 🙂 Education is much better than policies.

pretty sure the OSHA manual has a line in it that goes something like "sense is not common, it is learned"

Who in their right mind would join a channel called #selfpromotion?

“Holy moly, i got chosen to be he an instructor at caster.io, check this out ” would feel much more being excited and just wanting to share something really cool

As a data point, what we did in the Clojurians Slack was make the primary channel (which no one can opt out of) an #admin-announcements channel and disable posts to it (except by owners/admins) and then created an #announcements channel which folks were auto-joined to but could opt-out of. Of the 11,650 members, about 4,500 have stayed in #announcements since we did that.

Are votes of youtrack-tickets that are tagged as duplicates added to the ticket that is kept?

any link to read the relevant changes?

I'm preparing a talk about the cool things of Kotlin and how they work, like what is an extension function, why and how you can use it from Java etc. Do you have any good article to recommend?

Hi, it seems a lot of machine learning stuff is done in Python, and this makes me struggle getting started in it. This makes me wondering why there's not so much Kotlin in machine learning stuff and also if Kotlin<->Python interop could be a thing

but I am saying writing good code is something you LEARN and you don't just write good code because you are smart

Shameless plug, I did a talk at KotlinConf on this whole Python and ML subject. And yes, join the #datascience channel if you want to banter about this stuff.

1. will Kotlin 2.0 have multicatch? 2. has

@get:whatever

syntax been in Kotlin since v1.0? or is it something that happened more recently?

What is the easiest way to build a pet project I had for android using Kotlin 0.12M? Android studio can't handle it. Just want to show it to some friends 🙂

My veteran Python coworker has been heavily committing Kotlin code the past week, with no JVM experience and only Intellij/JDK setup help from me. This says a lot about the Kotlin platform. Also, he picked up TornadoFX almost instantly just by looking at my code.

hi, why was there a red number 1 on the left at the 'general' channel link? i don't think i've been mentioned and i've never seen it elsewhere so if someone could explain it, i would be thankful

Keep your MacBooks close at hand guys. http://www.businessinsider.com/macos-high-sierra-can-be-hacked-with-username-root-and-no-password-2017-11

Got it now, that's right of course

who gots BTCs here?

not on: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/interfaces.html or: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/java-to-kotlin-interop.html

Maybe bot practice?

how many transpilers are in existence today? Dart is quite nice, the little bit I've worked with KotlinJS, it's nice too!

Props.
