A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

`internal` is `public` in Java, but they mangle the name in bytecode so it's not that bad. Nobody will look at that method name and want to call it.

Am I correct in assuming that the name mangling also makes things uncallable from Java? (i.e. it adds characters allowed by the JVM but not Java)

they can be called, yeah. Maybe they should be adding hyphens or something

I don't think it's that big of a deal. If a user wants to call your methods that badly, they can use reflection and hit even `private` members

Meh, I am used to python's approach to "private members" anyway  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"we are all consenting adults here" is the motto that is invoked I think.

Does that mean anyone under 18 isn't allowed to use Python? :thinking_face:

It would go a long way towards preventing kids from getting hooked on dynamic types

Talk to your children about programming, before someone else does
