A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

```listOf(1,2,3).sumOf { it.toDouble() } //works fine
listOf(1,2,3).sumOf { it.toFloat() } //error: no applicable overload```
can someone explain why?

&gt; Considering that workaround exists, we decided that overloads for `Float` do not pull their weight
wtf, it's literally 1 function with a 5loc body that is missing, how is that too much to ask for

but thanks for the link

<@UM8QX9WKA> not one, but something about 12-13, considering all collection-like containers.

ok fair, i didnt consider that. but still, it seems pretty trivial to implement, and i find it bizarre that `UInt` or even `BigInteger` is apparently more important than `Float`

like `Byte` and `Short`, `Float`'s use should usually be limited to storage, not computation. even Android has dropped `FloatMath` since `Math` on `Double` is faster.

oh thats interesting, i didn't know that. in that case the decision makes sense to me, ty 4 explaining
