A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Am I right to say that the syntax to iterate from first (inclusive) to last (exclusive) is `for (i in first..last - 1)` or `for i in first.until(last))`? Isn’t there a shorter syntax? In my experience, most ranges are not closed at the end. For example, it’s common to iterate from a given index in a list or string to list.size/string.length. The canonical loop in Java is `for (int i = 0; i &lt; max; i++)`, whereas the canonical one in Kotlin seems to be `for (i in 0..max)`, but those two don’t do the same thing. I find it unintuitive.
