on the subject of rants, anyone else tired of IllegalArgumentException always auto-completing to java.lang.IllegalArgumentException instead of the Kotlin stdlib typealias? same goes for all the common exceptions, like RuntimeException

[Marc Knaup]

I can't recall how many years ago I've last used IllegalArgumentException 😅
When do you use it?

[nanodeath]

in this case it's currently as a placeholder I guess...if an expected environment variable isn't passed to my Lambda. I guess that might be IllegalStateException?

[Marc Knaup]

I typically use require(), check() and error().
The former throws IAEs, the latter two throw ISEs.

[nanodeath]

fair, I should be using more of those. I guess I don't love that it wraps the argument, I like the "or else fail" postfix concept

[Marc Knaup]

What do you mean by “wrap”?

[nanodeath]

wrapper(foo)

[Marc Knaup]

Nothing is wrapped when you use require() 🤔

[nanodeath]

require is the wrapper 😛

[nanodeath]

it just buries things a little if I'm trying to scan through code

[nanodeath]

I mean wrapper syntactically, not object-ly

[Marc Knaup]

Ah okay 🙂

I've also been annoyed by this behavior. Took time to reproduce and report it: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-799
