    which is at odds with "If the key is not found in the map, calls the [defaultValue] function"

    Good point! Time to clarify the documentation

    There is a kotlin-stdlib and kotlin-stdlib-common, what’s the differences between them? The 2nd one is for kotlin-native or platform generic purpose?

    Just a question : i'm the only one who find the kotlin stdlib too small ?

    a monolithic stdlib is a bad idea for long-term stability and flexibility

    there's things like the kotlinx.coroutines and kotlinx.serialization libraries which are first party but don't need to (and I would argue shouldn't) be in the stdlib

    "the stdlib is too small" is a bit of a vague statement... Is there something specific you're missing?

    @vmichalak Do you find the Scala stdlib big enough then? 🧌

    DateTime is enough of a monster that I'd rather use established libs in the target platform I'm working on, personally. Writing something on the level of JSR310 or Joda would take a huge effort for not a lot of gain

    Random might be something worth having

    Dates and Randoms are planned to be released as separate multiplatform JB-supported libraries

    what would be the receiver in that in the common stdlib?

    that's a platform-specific type

    Why 
    Map.Entry<K, V>.setValue
    is a function? (Why not a property?)

    It has a return value, the value that was assigned to that entry before.

    I'm looking for an Immutable Queue if possible in Kotlin and thought I'd ask here. Anybody knows of any libraries out there with an impl of that?
  • t

    doesn't a queue imply mutability
  • t

    trevjones

    01/24/2018, 11:02 PM
    otherwise it is just a list or set
  • t

    trevjones

    01/24/2018, 11:04 PM
    so I guess just create some extensions for those that help with making it seem queue like to edit them

    Immutable queues that do structural sharing are common in other langs http://www.scala-lang.org/api/2.12.0/scala/collection/immutable/Queue.html The impl is not huge but I'd like to avoid porting it if there is one somewhere in Kotlin land already

    Is there a 'do X task every Y at Z time' in the kotlin stdlib way? Just the regular Scheduled Executor service?

    coroutines can be periodic?

    sure! 
    while (true)
