Why Android KTX? https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/02/introducing-android-ktx-even-sweeter.html Wouldn’t it be better to maintain the same coding style on all platforms?

Same coding style? all platforms? What are you talking about? Java and Kotlin? But with Kotlin you can provide much more pleasant API that impossible in Java, so make sense to have such extensions. Also everyone already have own versions of them and don’t forget about Anko

My question refers only to Kotlin. KTX creates a even more simplified style only for Android developers, so that as soon as you got used to this it will be harder for an Android dev to write backend code in Kotlin

Android KTX are extensions to Android API

that’s what I mean

so how does this affect backend? it was platform specific either way

ah, I get your point @ebonet

np 😄
