Some ideas to make std better: file I/O functionalities Generate random number (rand()) Make more collections: SortedSet, SortedMap, LinkedList, TreeMap. Make constructors for Map and Set (interfaces) Native implementation of List.shuffle

random, shuffle (both of them now JVM only) - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-17261 file I/O - are you talking about multiplatform? There are plans about async file io lib, but not sure that it will be available for multiplatform. Also not clear how js implementation should work (node.js only? not really Kotlin JS way) constructors for Map and Set? What do you mean JVM like collections is actually interesting proposal, not sure what is position about this

Maybe introduce SortedList<>? (not in java)
k
SortedList? might as well use a TreeSet at that point.

Yes, I agree about collections. I’m not really in multi-platform, but I suppose it can be helpful for JS and native
