Capturing when subject in a variable damm that is awesome!

[fred.deschenes]

Yeah I never realized how much I needed this

[josephivie]

It does look a lot better than someExpression.let{when(it){...}}

[karelpeeters]

I have realized this very often and I've been frustrated every time simple smile

time for while now..

[karelpeeters]

Ah true, that's needed often too!

[karelpeeters]

Might as well make assigments expressions.

here you go, https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-25765

I'll comment on the issue later today, but this can lead to inconsistent behaviour. Should !(val line = getNextLine()).isNullOrEmpty() also work? Should arbitrary expressions work?

[karelpeeters]

I'm in favour of having assignents or at least declarations be expressions too.
