kotlinlang

So question for android devs using kotlin, has the lack of checked exceptions resulted in any major issues? I am thinking even though checked exceptions get abused and ignored in java, not having the ability to know when a method may throw an exception is kind of dangerous

Nope, No issues here. You have to think about what you are using and check if something throws exceptions. Most of the time I was rethrowing checked exceptions as runtime exceptions. And the ones I really expect like network ioexceptions I know I have to catch them manually
