Wishlist for Kotlin 1.2 (conversion between int-float and long-double in all targets including JS). Here a JS implementation I just did using typed arrays:

They will be available very soon https://github.com/JetBrains/kotlin/commit/a94843cdd940963a1c64a0d51a09048cf637bc11#diff-0e846dd88c9db3d24cb3d9e7d6ec7f0f

Let us know if it’s not enough 😉

Looks good! After thinking a bit about it, I was going to suggest:

fun Int.reinterpretAsFloat(): Float = java.lang.Float.intBitsToFloat(this)
fun Float.reinterpretAsInt(): Int = java.lang.Float.floatToIntBits(this)

fun Long.reinterpretAsDouble(): Double = java.lang.Double.longBitsToDouble(this)
fun Double.reinterpretAsLong(): Long = java.lang.Double.doubleToLongBits(this)

But for me thats enough. As long as they are available i can use them. Usually I use them in binary serialization.

Feel free to create an issue or to write your suggestions in #stdlib

About serialization: take a look to kotlinx.serialization — https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx.serialization
