Thanks for sharing the roadmap, it's very exciting whats on the table. I have a question regarding multiple receivers stuff, hope this is the right place to ask.
For me as a very interested kotlin power user, i can't see how we went from sth like fun (A, B).foo(bar: Bar) as described in the multi receiver keep to decorators as in the Presentation. There was a lot of discussion by users in https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/pull/176 and i don't see any of those go into the direction of a decorators construct. I also try to be open and know that the shown syntax is Not necessarily what i think it is, but the first look of the decorators design looks way more complicated and un-kotliny than the ones from KEEP 176. So is there already any discussion or information about how decorators came up in this context, am i missing any discussions or threads here?

Did you watch Roman’s talk yesterday? I thought it did a pretty good job of explaining it.

@Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] Yap, that's where i heard first about decorators, that's why i feel Like i am missing a discussion, as i participated in all (3) keeps that touched the topic. The decorators idea felt like a surprise, after the public discussion went silent for a long time.
