A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Hey guys :wave:
I'm sorry if I'm not in the right channel, I didn't find a better one, but I think it's related enough.
I'm trying context parameters, but failing in this case:
```fun bar(
    lambda: context(String) () -&gt; Unit
) {
    with("") {
        lambda()
    }
}

fun foo() {
    bar {
        this // error
    }
}```
Am I missing something? Is this not supposed to give me a string?
I am not able to get the context parameter of the lambda in any way. If I try `bar { str -&gt;` then "str" here is also an error :thinking_face:

<#C0B8MA7FA|> would be more appropriate for general questions about the language. This channel is about discussing possible language changes.

Fair enough, although this doesn't feel like a question of someone getting started in kotlin ahah :sweat_smile:

Yeah I agree this is a bit of a misnomer, but organically that's what the channel became. I guess it should probably be `#general-kotlin-questions` or something along those lines.

In any case, I'll ask the question there :slightly_smiling_face:

I think of it as "getting started in this Slack"

Context ~receiver~ parameters questions definitely don't feel like "getting started"

just to give a solution, since `bar` declares the lambda with a context parameter, this is not accessible using `this`, but rather using `contextOf&lt;String&gt;()`
