I often wish I could use regex search in Chrome. There are plugins, but they are clunky and unnatural.

it's depends @benleggiero, how old are they? What did you already teach them? What's your goal?

It's hella awesome https://github.com/tonsky/FiraCode

Cool, thanks a lot @gildor and @Eugenio. Nice article! Yeah, it's definitely a lot nicer to do this in Kotlin, and some extension methods might make it even easier. Yeah, I was also worried that it would be a much larger effort to make "KotlinPoet" than JavaPoet is because the language is already more complex than Java and new syntax comes much quicker.

lol,

private Mesh object;

gets translated to kotlin as

var `object`: Mesh

Was

times

only an infix function or also an operator, so you could write

50 * { println("Kotlin!" }

?

damn ! scala built its own native compiler in llvm : https://www.scala-lang.org/blog/2017/03/14/scala-native-0.1-is-here.html

Anyone here using Jersey for Restful API development? 😂 Jersey is a JAX-RS reference implementation but everyone seems to prefer Spring MVC even for Restful API development.

@s.luhmirins

Base64.getDecoder().decode(encodedString)

?

Has anyone tried developing in :kotlin: without stdlib? 🙂

and then there was the whole JSF thing (I was heavily involved in Wicket early on) where everyone working against the JEE standards were the enemy 😉

@dathoang.se I mostly use MyBatis because it let's me write SQL in a convenient way while letting me decide what queries I execute. I'm going to switch to KDBC for sure when it's complete. Being able to write type safe SQL-like queries with full control of mapping is something I've been wanting to do since I fell in love with Kotlin 🙂

This is similar, but more interactive http://langpop.corger.nl/

Does kotlin work with hibernate?

In lombok, the inclusion/exclusion strategies are very neat, (e.g.:

@ToString(exclude = "password")

@EqualsAndHashCode(of = "id")

etc..). I'm wondering if kotlin data classes could have similar.

Why is there no "all" option?

Does

kotlin-maven-noarg

plugin works with

data

classes?

The only correct way to use Groovy is to put @CompileStatic everywhere.

@oshai To be fair 7 people moved in the opposite direction, Scala -> Kotlin. I've been 'forced' to temporarily move to Scala just because that what the client requires & what pays the bills. Would love to see more Kotlin jobs as it just feels more productive. (BTW interesting/scary how many devs switched from Java -> php !!)

@deviant yep, go to 👉 Telegram

@voddan on KotlinQA, why China question? I just don’t get it…

but probably not much of an issue except for extreme circumstances

it is kind of classic game theory though to just give people just enough to make them still see change as expensive or risky, so sure, maybe they will not try to go toe-to-toe, but for sure they are attempting to blunt the draw of other languages, and the perception that their language is hopeless and will never improve..

uff, I got a severe race condition, I managed to take out 99% of times using

@Synchronized

but I still get it from time to time..

Most people who are very negative about Windows haven't used it in years.
