@annyce typically, we use Egyptian curly braces, like in Java, not in C.

A question to developers of Kotlin. Should constants be const val or not?

[semoro]

Should, constants marked const inlines at use-site as Javac does (It should be done in kotlinc now, but not sure, anyway you should mark constants as const)

[annyce]

Do you find it's distracting to have the braces on their own line?

[miha-x64]

@semoro thank you.
One person on a meetup said that const is only for annotations, and it’s a best-practice from JB to use it only there. I was quite disappointed...

[miha-x64]

@annyce it looks unusual for me, I write in Java and Kotlin. I think it looks okay for C/C++ developers.

[annyce]

ok
