Is there a reason why ApplicationConfigValue only has the getString function and not the getInt, getLong, etc from hocon's Config class?

I think the original reason was to keep the interface simple, since there is a Hocon implementation, but also an inmemory implementation that uses Strings.

Still you can do something like:
getString("ktor.port")?.toIntOrNull() ?: 8080

ok

would you accept a PR that adds those functions?

I’m not the one accepting PRs, but I think it is ok to make a PR proposing the changes and discuss about it there
