Am I the only to notice that Goetz' Records sound an awful lot like Kotlin's data classes? http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/amber-spec-experts/2018-March/000400.html

I’m not saying you just put it into YouTrack so we can “happily” ignore it. You can imagine with our user base size there are hundreds and hundreds of reasons why your particular installation can get slower. There is no such thing as “performance” that we shouldn’t break. There cannot be a test for “performance is ok”, right? May be you have some software installed interfering with IJ. Or an option enabled in IJ that other people don’t have enabled. That all requires investigation and if you’re not registered in YT and communicating, we can’t learn from you and actually fix it. If you’re not comfortable with YT, you can write to support@jetbrains.com. Of course, there is always an option to blame us and wait for someone else to have same issue as you who’s collaborating, so we fix it for both of you 🙂

Ugh it's really annoying getting all these YouTrack mails where somebody commented "+1". Just press the "like" button, dammit!

ah yes, I too subscribe to /r/softwareengineeramusements

We’ve sent some Kotlin benchmarks to folks behind Graal, including #ktor for coroutines and stdlib, etc. Verdict was that it works slightly faster, but takes a lot more time to warmup.

something like this pseudocode:

val resultList = mutableListOf<DateRange>()
var currentRange = list.first()
for (range in list.drop(1)) {
   if (currentRange.end == range.start) currentRange = DateRange(currentRange.start, range.end) else { resultList.add(currentRange); currentRange=range}
}
resultList.add(currentRange)

IntelliJ is driving me crazy with the search transient window disappearing on my i3 wm. Makes opening files a hit and miss.

Scala 3, early 2020 http://www.scala-lang.org/blog/2018/04/19/scala-3.html

no, you are both wrong. Python is pure garbage good for literally nothing

Hope that new Kotlin scripting will have dependency management out of the box

python foo.py

again, problem of depencies

Haven't used Django, We are using Flask plus the wonderfully named WTF library

We handle something like 200 million incoming requests per day

Application has been live for 4 years with less than 1 minute of total downtime over that period. We release at least once per week & have a major release monthly.

A crazy legal issue in the tech sector, especially in the U.S. I heard about this case for several years. The creator of the realistic flight simulator X-Plane got sued by a publicly-traded patent troll corporation. The patent: looking up purchase verification in an app store to allow access to an app. It covers many absurd lawsuits that costed millions, including a patent on rounding numbers, and therefore making the usage of Linux an infringement. The X-Plane creator made a documentary now. The patent system here in the U.S. needs some improvement. https://www.amazon.com/Patent-Scam-Austin-Meyer/dp/B0736G66P8/

Graal AOT compilation, kotlin demo - https://github.com/shelajev/graalvm-demos/tree/master/java-kotlin-aot . Mac and windows will be supported - https://twitter.com/thomaswue/status/988105319787188224

How does that work? i thought Qt was a gui library and webassembly doesn't have DOM access yet.

I guess it draws pixel by pixel, just like in native environment

I'm not sure where else to ask this: When I go to discuss.kotlinlang.org and click on "Log In" it redirects a bit and then I get an error: "Sorry, there was an error authorizing your account. Perhaps you did not approve authorization?" I tried from incognito mode to see if a corrupted cookie caused the trouble, and that at least took me to a username/password prompt, but as soon as I entered those I got the same error. Anyone else running into this?

@orangy That is absolutely one approach I considered... an iterative method to always guarantee valid object types

Actual generating code is a lot of hacking dsls 🙂

might it be this @karelpeeters https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/blob/master/generators/tests/org/jetbrains/kotlin/generators/builtins/ranges.kt

I'd love some sort of clean, multiplatform-aware codegen for kotlin. I've had a similar problem with codegen for non-boxing primitives, e.g. https://github.com/kyonifer/koma/tree/master/koma-core-api/common/src/koma/internal/default/generated/ndarray

My initial thought for how this could work is that there were have to be code evaluation, which builds strings of code from there ---> (some missing ideas on how to have that evaluated because it would skip compile time right into runtime) --> and run the strings as code

Ouch, we’ve got a new bulk of conspiracy theories! 🤦‍♂️ https://www.techyourchance.com/why-google-adopted-kotlin-for-android/

@nish some people consider code without tests to be legacy

Can I ask why there is a

Nothing

type and what the use case is
