A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Hi, I posted a 2 min to-read median post to consider the behavior of immutable types when using `apply` and `also` scope functions. Please make me happy with your valuable opinions.

That's actually quite interesting! A mention of how this can be improved is in the <https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/blob/master/notes/value-classes.md#copying-scope-functions|value classes keep>

Yeah I thought this was well known. Apply is for further initialization of mutable classes and also is for side effects

Interesting. Good example. I wouldn't curse in an article ("bloody wonder"). Good luck for the job hunt.

You're right <@U01AM7C0V5H>, updated. :sweat_smile:

From the docs

• Object configuration: apply
• Additional effects: also

We can be more precise:
• Mutable object configuration: apply
