A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Is there a shorthand for this?
```fun Date.toCalendar(): Calendar {
    val calendar = Calendar.getInstance()
    calendar.time = this
    return calendar
}```


Something like this might work:
```fun Date.toCalendar() = 
    Calendar.getInstance().apply {
        time = this@toCalendar
    }```

<@U0E6TGXUN> that's Java 8, right? Can't use it on Android

<@U35HN2RGQ> doesn't this create endless recursion?

No, you are using apply to scope setting `time` and `this@toCalendar` sets it to the `Date` that the `toCalendar` function is being called on.
