In Go and Swift (as well as many other languages like TypeScript, Rust, Python, etc.), you can return a tuple, which is kind of like an anonymous container that holds arbitrary other values. You're still only returning a single value, but they add some nice syntax sugar that makes it easy and smooth.
Kotlin does not support tuples, so your best bet is to do as @nanodeath suggested.
