A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I’ve got what may be an interop nightmare. I’m converting a Java library to Kotlin, and the library has a dependency on a different library implemented in Clojure. The Clojure library throws an IllegalStateException but the Kotlin re-write seems to completely discard that exception when thrown. Is this expected behavior in Kotlin? Is there a way to get the previously expected behavior back?

Kotlin doesn't discard exceptions. It does treat checked exceptions as unchecked, so doesn't force you to do a `try`. The exception should still get pushed up, and you can still do a `try/catch` for it if required.

<@U5Y9PTYF3> that’s what I thought, but the behavior I’m seeing doesn’t seem to match this. I suppose I’ll have to dig into the bytecode to see what’s going on.
