A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I have a validation routine that has a few different steps (thing must be X long, prefix before the '-' must be Y long, prefix must conform to this mask, etc). Is there a more Kotlin-y way to do this besides a bunch of `if(!validateLength(thingy)) if(!validatePrefixLength())`   statements?

folks worry so much about doing things “kotlin-ey” — really you should just strive to be clear, concise, and expressive in your code

see what conditions you can consolidate into common code paths and combine them, don’t stress about the ones you can’t. use `when` if appropriate/possible

also check out <#C1H43FDRB|codereview> if you have a code snippet to share (and be sure to use an actual Slack Snippet if it’s kinda long <https://slack.com/help/articles/204145658-Create-a-snippet>)
