Massive congratulations Hadi, always love your podcasts on Kotlin, great to have you steering the Kotlin foundation, hopefully you’ll manage to keep the ternary operator out of Kotlin (:) It’s a joke incase of a flame war)

[hhariri]

Thank you 🙂. FTR though, the charter of the foundation is not the evolution of the language, but other aspects such as backwards compatibility, trademark, growth of multiplatform ecosystem, and education.

Cool, thanks for the work on Kotlin and the foundation, it’s genuinely appreciated having excellent IDE’s, language and frameworks on the JVM and other platforms
