I'd love to see half-open ranges in Kotlin just like in Swift!
Is there a reason there are none (yet)?

Something along these lines: https://github.com/fluidsonic/fluid-stdlib/blob/master/sources/common/HalfOpenRange.kt

Isn't until enough?

[Marc Knaup]

no, doesn't work in many cases:
"a" until "bc"
LocalTime(11, 0) until LocalTime(12, 0)
etc.

[Marc Knaup]

half-open ranges are especially useful for date and time periods

[Marc Knaup]

and pagination (start at "a" and stop before "bc", next iteration starts at "bc", etc.)

[Ilmir Usmanov [JB]]

I see.

That would allow to replace when without subjects because of comparator operator usage with when with subject using half-open ranges.
