A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I'm adapting <https://developer.chrome.com/apps/runtime> which has functions that take arguments (`getUrl`), functions which take async callbacks (`getBackgroundPage`), and functions which perform actions (`reload()`). But then it has this `getManifest()` function which takes no arguments, isn't async with a callback, and isn't performing some kind of action. Were I encapsulating this in a class, I would do `val manifest: Json get() = delegate.getManifest()` to expose it as a property. This is an external interface though so I'm forced into `fun getManifest()`

its not as nice but you can get your property and getter at the same time if you make it an extension property

ie. `val ExternalInterface.manifest : Manifest get() = asDynamic().manifest`

Yeah I know. I was hoping that something like `val manifest: Json @JvmName("getManifest") get()` would just work

Try `val manifest: Json @JsName("getManifest") get`

ah!!! that indeed works. I naively was using the parenthesis on `get()` since you have to do that with functions :man-facepalming:
