Well, please, stop pointing fingers and calling on personalities. It’s not the right place to do it.

Why

function!!()

is OK, but

function?()

is not? 🙃

There is no

operator.

?.

!!

does a thing, it converts

T?

doesn't do anything on it's own, only in combination with a function call.

I agree the assymetry is a little bit weird. maybe it makes sense to add operator

?()

and

?[]

to close the gap

though we would need

? {}

as well for higher-order functions

It's all possible with a bit different syntax.

?.invoke()

?.get()

?: {}

Is there an IDEA plugin that allows me to point to any tabular data source (CSV, clipboard, SQL query, etc) and generate a data class using a wizard? That would be enormously helpful.

so, regarding the mechanism that kotlin uses for

kotlin.List

java.util.List

, is there any way we mere programmers can get access to the same magic? I have a java type that must be a java type that I want to retroactively declare as covariant in kotlin.

@groostav Yes, such mechanism is called type aliases:

typealias MyList<T> = java.util.ArrayList<out T>
