i'm trying it out now. if you click on a thing that was folded within a line, it is of course unfolded. but does it ever go back?

i guess this is a subtle way of encouraging java devs to get used to kotlin syntax before they make the big leap 🙂

@mikehearn Ctrl + - will fold the selected piece of code

I'm being using it for a while now, happy customer

writes a function in Rust ... doesn't compile 'cause I'm writing Kotlin syntax

@dh44t practicing some Rust before going full steam with #kotlin-native? 🙂

sort of

is it possible to build&run a kotlin scratch file from the IDE ?

I don’t think so.

I think there were an idea to make it possible with a Kotlin Scripting mixed with REPL, so you can select some text and execute it, or just entire script. Like in many SQL tools. But I don’t think there is even an issue for that.

would be cool to quickly test small snipets of code

And do not forget to revert it back before committing!

The fun of joining a bigger company: I bring up Kotlin for ease of development and it’s the first time nobody responds with open eyes and “what is that?” voices but with “nah, not going far enough. Try Pony.” 😄

define “bigger” please 🙂 my experience in big companies was “not gonna happen” 😄

More like "we're over here still using CVS"

Enterprise moves like snails and not really for any good reason other than incompetence\ignorance I'd say

@mbickel fintech ? there's a lot of rhetoric around pony for fintech

You mean my employer? Nah, good ‘ol CRM. I’m not interested in all that “we can get 0.01ms here to be the fastest front-loader”. But the “data race free” thing got me interested.

And while “not gonna happen” certainly applies to any companies cash cow, all those employees need to do stuff. And they end up building a lot of new products in whatever fancy style they happen on.

@mg6maciej’s proposal with (more) strict typealiases looks interesting to me in some cases. https://kotlinlang.slack.com/archives/C0B9K7EP2/p1490383420615905 Example — storing differently sized images’ URLs by side width:

typealias UrlsByWidth = SparseArrayCompat<String>
inline fun UrlsByWidth.getForWidth(width: Int) = /* implementation goes here */
/*1*/ @Deprecated(message = "not applicable", level = DeprecationLevel.ERROR) inline fun UrlsByWidth.getForHeight(height: Int) = throw AssertionError()

typealias UrlsByHeight = SparseArrayCompat<String>
/*2*/ inline fun UrlsByHeight.getForHeight(height: Int) = /* implementation goes here */

I was trying to make

getForWidth

not applicable to

UrlsByHeight

(and vice versa), but (1) and (2) are ‘conflicting overloads’ since their receiver have the same type.

has JB considered publishing official kotlin image on dockerhub?

it’ll be so many images (because of different jre’s) but openjdk is maintaining it for every release

How useful would that be?

I can't say I understand the hype around docker except for server instances and huge dev environments. Kotlin is simply installing idea

@User uploaded a file:

How do you name your libraries? I feel like i chose a bad name for mine 😞

easy to search, easy to say, difficult to misspell... puns are always a huge plus too 🙂

Naming libs could be a serious business 🙂 What’s your lib about? Crowdsourcing often helps

Try to call it what it is. Pop culture references. Abbreviate and verbify, concatenation, punns.(Dagger -> Directed Acyclic Graph ger)

@orangy the config one
