I'll never get tired of how kotlin projects will replace a 'C' with a 'K', the same way I am not tired with the Mortal Kombat games doing something similar

10/27/2022, 10:57 AMJust silly, like it was in the Javascript world for the past decade where every lib had a JS or .js suffix, or even farther in the past where every Java lib or product had some J sticked at the start or end of a word. Simply ridiculous.
