A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

instead of modeling with data class or data structure.

as a general rule, don’t write `$language` in `$other_language`

trying to mimic a feature from one language in another that doesn’t have native support for it often comes with disadvantages that aren’t always apparent

you _can_ return a `Pair` or a `Triple` in Kotlin, but mimicking Go’s error handling is both a) not necessary and b) can be harder to read and work with in Kotlin

Pair and Triple both implement `componentN` functions, so you _could_ destructure and have go-style syntax

```val (res, err) = doThing()```
but then you’re stuck with endless `if (err != null)`  when Kotlin provides better alternatives like sealed classes for something like `Result` or `Try` or just a nullable result that you can use monadically

and if you ever want to write code that other people will use or work on,
