@karelpeeters I'm talking about fun foo() = print("hello") vs. fun foo() { print("hello") }

[karelpeeters]

Only use the former when the body is a single, short expression? I'm not sure what kind of conventions you're looking for.

I explained it in the next message...

[iex]

but here again, the differentiation is between when you want to return something / do something with the return value and perform only side effects

[iex]

and at least in scala there used to be a convention that when you only want to perform side effects, the method was considered a "procedure" and put between {} - whether it was long or a one liner

[iex]

so I wanted to know if there's something similar in Kotlin but it doesn't seem to be the case

[iex]

even in Scala this convention seems to be outdated
