because kotlin doesn't auto-expand numeric types

[reik.schatz]

but then number 2 should have the same issue no?

[hho]

< and > are mapped to compareTo in kotlin (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/operator-overloading.html#comparison).

And there, the stdlib has all the overloads: https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-long/index.html

[reik.schatz]

alright, thanks for the explanation 🙂
