A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I was writing some compose multiplatform and I needed to set two mutable variables with same type to same value inline like this:
```showCaptureDialog, hasBegunCapture = true```
Of course that’s not possible, but I was curious, why not? :thinking_face: 
Is it because the usecase is rarely used or compiler restrictions ??

I found the C programmer ;-)

Kotlin just doesn’t have that syntax. I don’t think that’s a bad thing. 

C programmer? C doesn't have that syntax. Well, I mean this syntax is allowed but it doesn't do what you think it does.

C and Java have the syntax `showCaptureDialog = hasBegunCapture = true` - because the `=` operator returns a value. In Kotlin, it doesn't.

You are correct.  And that is a deliberate decision.
