Do you think it would be possible to add leading zeros to number literals in Kotlin? - e.g. LocalTime.of(10,05) reads a bit more naturally than LocalTime.of(10,5)

I don't think this is going to happen. Leading 0s will be confused with octal numbers by java devs

[stantronic]

ah! hadn't thought of that. Thanks

[Joffrey]

Also, in your example I guess a good way to make it look more natural is to use an actual format:

LocalTime.parse("10:05")
LocalDate.parse("2023-10-23")

yeah, good idea
