Recently I mentioned how I was drawn towards #flutter for cross platform desktop development after being frustrated by the Rube Goldberg situation for that under #kotlin. This thread really captures that. It gets worse when adding other KMM/KMP things. discuss.kotlinlang.org/t/rant-about-k…

While I've spent a bunch of the last few years working with #dotnet (most favorite @AvaloniaUI and LiteDB) and #kotlin in recent weeks my dabbling with #dartlang and #flutter really converged to it being my primary platform. More to come later this month. nequalsonelifestyle.com/2021/11/04/dar…

I've had a pretty easy time learning #flutter and #dart with my background in many standard languages w/ #kotlin being my favorite. This post by David Miguel is a great reference for lots of language/lib features for Kotlin developers. davidmigloz.medium.com/dart-for-kotli…

Cool little documentary video on history of it as well! Happy anniversary for my favorite language 😀 #Kotlin #10yearsofkotlin
Kotlin was first announced back in 2011, and just look how far we’ve come! 💫
Join the celebrations #10yearsofKotlin

#Kotlin offers many exciting features. In general, developers tend to cite null safety as their favorite. For me, it’s function extensions. But #delegation comes a close second. Let's have a look

Before coding with #Kotlin the #Java interoperability was my biggest concern. I had been burned a bit by complications with that aspect of Scala, especially with collections. For the most part Kotlin's "just works"™ which makes Kotlin my go-to JVM language if I have any choice
Kotlin and Java interoperability is smooth, which means you can use both of them in the same project.
Check out the tutorial ?

That was my concern too. That, and whether or not a future coworker would have to learn Kotlin just to work on my projects. Because if that is the case, my employers would reject Kotlin.

Since Kotlin is becoming more popular I wouldn't necessarily worry about the last one but of course it is a concern. Between extension methods, named parameters, and better collection operations I can't imagine choosing to code in Java anymore. Kotlin just makes the code more expressive and easier to read.

Java 16 released! The 1st arrival of an alternative to JNI is probably most interesting to me. Native interop has been horribly inferior to .NET so this could help. Other interesting things but #kotlin is still going to be my go-to JVM language #java
The Arrival of Java 16!
Further demonstrating Java’s path of continued innovation, Oracle is proud to announce the general availability of Java 16 representing the sixth feature release as part of the six-month cadence.inside.java

I do not want to start flame war here. Only mentions serious business risk related to Oracle dependency. Nothing more.

Sure, I totally understand license- and business practice-related concerns.
I was just bothered with the ambiguity of the first comments, but it seems to have been mostly clarified.

Look at Java Record type classes. They already present in the new java since 14
TFW something is acting very weirdly in #kotlin KMM on #AppleSilicon M1 under Rosetta and can't figure out what if it's Rosetta on M1 or something else so have to either rent a cloud-based x86 or try to get it most of the way there on an ancient 2011 MacBook Air I kept around.
OK #kotlin is *not* bringing me joy last 12 hrs. Ktor JSON serialization wonkiness finally fixed with 1.4 update. Can't figure out how to get it to use the returned server cookies on the next request. Supports only HttpResponse or object, not HttpResponse<T>.

...it's really Ktor and kotlinx.serialization that is driving me mad. Back to regular Java HttpClient which has it's own problems but I've already worked around them. Would be happy to try Ktor if can figure out WTH is going wrong with the cookie manager...
More #kotlin timing goodness if using 1.4. TimedValue object:
val result = measureTimedValue { bigCalc() }
println("Time: ${result.duration}")
println("Values: ${result.value}")
Let's you keep results immutable, w00t
#programming
val result = measureTimedValue { bigCalc() }
println("Time: ${result.duration}")
println("Values: ${result.value}")

More #kotlin bringing joy to programming. Want to measure elapsed time of a block of code?
val elapsedTimeRead = measureTimeMillis {
network.readTimeline(user)
}
println(elapsedTimeRead)
Voilà! also have versions for nanoTime, Duration, and returning a value and time.

Does kotlin provide for parallel threads? I don't know if that solves all problems, but I've had situations where my timing code was responsible for quite a bit of the time that the timing code measured. (Typically on small uC's where use of millis() means a ton of code for setting up hardware timers and isr's for timer overflows.)
It's the little things about #kotlin. I am writing a sim where I want a random element out of a list. Was writing my own when discover it's already a standard method on Collection. Programming languages question, "Does it bring you joy?" Yes, for Kotlin 😀 #programming

I dig @kotlin. What do you think of the language? Not familiar with it? ?

Thank you for this post. Researching Spring and Kotlin sent me down a very educational rabbit hole into aspect oriented programming and related sub-topics.

Kotlin is a lovely, modernized language for writing to the JVM. It cleans up most of the complaints people have about Java's verbose syntax and add features that makes code written in Kotlin safer. Were I still cutting code these days (and with the end of my current gig, more code-cutting may be ahead), Kotlin would be the language I'd prefer to use.

I woke from a dream where the #diaspora API was being deployed (which I think may actually be happening soon, right #diaspora-dev ?) so I revived my website comments system based on the API, polished up the #kotlin implementation, and then also wrote a #dotnet version so I could make an #fediverse app in #AvaloniaUI . Yeah I'm in a coding mood 😀.

Uber-procrastination. Actually able to do #kotlin dev under #IntelliJIDEA working on #HaikuOS. #LibreOffice works pretty snazzy too. Not perfect but amazingly feasible.
