context receivers is my new favorite feature 💓

[ClayShentrup]

I think I'm much better alternative to context receivers is just to eliminate the idea of a receiver. A receiver is effectively just a limited type of function overloading where the first argument can be polymorphic. Just allow function overloading for any arguments and you don't need receivers anymore. You get the same thing as OO for all intents and purposes.

Hi, good video. But I request, can you please use black background for your slides

[renascienza.bazarclub]

We are talking about Android apps targeted to run directly on x64 environments without changes? O___O

Maybe we can now include Android on Kotlin multiplatform projects sharing easily common code with JS, Desktop and so on?

What is the catch?

[marcfearby]

With every new release one wonders why anyone would want to use anything other than Kotlin. The "one language to rule them all" now?

Please work towards UI multiplatform like flutter. Not just common logic.
