A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I have Java code which uses `object.wait()` and `object.notify()`.
What's the best way to convert this to Kotlin?
The converter in IntelliJ replaces `Object` with `Any?`, but `wait()` and `notify()` are of course not defined on `Any`.

thread blocking is the worst possible solution regarding thread-safety
it was also the only one available in old JDK versions
first, you might want to get a little information about `Future`, `CompletableFuture`, etc.

because i’m afraid it’s not worth to migrate your code directly
without refactoring it

Thanks. I thought about passing around a `CountDownLatch`, but you're right; a bigger refactoring is probably necessary

If  you need to port your Java code wihtout much hassle you can use `(obj as Object).wait()` (same with `notify()`)
