Is there a way of writing

infix

functions that allows the left side to be implied by the context? For example, in

apply

you mean something like:

infix fun <T: Any>  T.test(other: Any) {

}

?

If you're looking for something like:

infix fun String.test(other: String) {
    ...
}
"A".apply {
    test "B"
}

Then no, it's not possible.

if the argument is a lambda then it would be sort of like an infix however

@Ruckus yeah, that’s exactly what I’m talking about

@rook this works for me:

infix fun String.isSameAs(other: String): Boolean = (this == other).also { println(it) }
"SomeString".apply {
    isSameAs("Foo")
    isSameAs(this)
}

prints

false

then

true
