A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Just realized - what would happen in a request like this that has potential errors (what if I call this on something that isn't a digit)? There's a number of solutions - throw, or return null, but if this is going to be caked into the language, who's decision is it to decide that? Should I suggest one in the ticket? Let the language developers decide?

Follow up: Is that an indication that it shouldn't be added to the language, and perhaps that's why it wasn't?
