A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

If you want to override `toString()` function in an `enum class` you have to use `;` (at least to my knowledge). I was wondering, are there any other instances where `;` is mandatory in Kotlin?

Awesome! Thanks. It didn't even cross my mind to look for it online, I thought no one would be insterted to know something like that in StackOverflow. The case of returning functions it's something I didn't know of.

name() is default to_string in enums but under the jvm at least, there are java naming limitations even if you usethe backticks.  in 1.7 this is going to get stricter though i would argue for opting into even fewer restrictions personally.

even with java enum limitations in kotlin you can get away with a lot of metaprogramming using enums, and of course, minimal fixups following semicolon.
