Why
.
is not allowed in kotlin function names even when backticked? Is there :youtrack: for this? (IIRC scala and groovy can have dots.)

Why not do whatever scala and groovy are doing?

It adds complexity and they didn't think it was worth it?

Sure, I guess, it’s not straightforward. No :youtrack: though?
(This is something I missed from day one and it keeps coming up, but I never bothered reporting assuming it’s already in youtrack upvoted.)

I can't find one, feel free to create it 😒imple_smile: . Out of curiosity, why do you want this so bad?

Full stop is quite common in English language. And in software to express versions (e.g. 1.5). The most important thing I guess is that I always thought that conceptually “backticks” were supposed to give you the freedom of the language identifier rules.
