A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I was following the <https://github.com/OpenHFT/Chronicle-Wire#the-code-for-the-class-data|guide> of `Chronicle-Wire` library, and I found this case:

The read operation need a `BiConsumer` value, With Java we can send Setter method but in Kotlin throws compiler error.

Some Kotlin expert, can explain to me: *Why I can't send the setter method directly and equivalent short-syntax for Kotlin.*

*Method Signature:*
```default <T> WireIn text(T t, @NotNull BiConsumer<T, String> ts) {}```
*Implementation:*
```// With Java:
wire.read("name").text(this, Data::setName) // Works

// With Kotlin:
wire.read("name").text(this) { obj, name -> obj.name = name } // Works

wire.read("name").text(this, this::setName) // Compile Error: Type mismatch.
wire.read("name").text(this, this::name) // Compile Error: Type mismatch.```

I think the syntax you're looking for is `Data::name::set`
