It was so much fun! So many great features in @arrow_kt that any #Kotlin developer can benefit from. If you haven't watched the livestream yet, check it out. And be sure to follow @trupill to keep up with lots of great things happening in both Arrow and Kotlin!

Function types, KFunction, Function, KCallable... why does #Kotlin have so many different function types? In this 11-minute video, we'll see why they all exist and when you might want to use each one. #AndroidDev

@sambit95 @TusharSing5133 @thebiryanidev Hey, thanks so much Sambit! That's very kind of you!

Happy new year! Today's video is a 9-minute clip from the latest livestream, where I cover what guards are, and how pattern guards in Kotlin 2.1 give us better compiler support for checking that a `when` expression is exhaustive. #Kotlin #AndroidDev

Let's end the year strong with one more livestream this Wednesday at 10 AM CST, where we'll check out some of the fun new preview features in Kotlin 2.1! Add it to your calendar with these links: Google - Outlook Web - Download Invite - Or use the "Notify Me" feature directly in YouTube: #Kotlin #AndroidDev

Read-only lists aren't immutable! In this 12-minute clip from the TypeAlias Show Livestream, we'll see how the `kotlinx.collections.immutable` library address this. #Kotlin #AndroidDev

This Wednesday, instead of a usual video premiere on YouTube, I'll be joining @sebi_io for Day 4 of the Advent of Code in #Kotlin livestream! Hope to see you in chat each day throughout the event!

@skaldebane I haven't checked out the butterfly place yet... Thanks for coming all the way back just to say a few kind words! 🙂

@skaldebane Hey, thanks so much Houssam! Yeah, I remember smiling while I was drawing that one 😁 I'm glad you got a kick out of it!

@sunnat629 Hey, thank you very much, Mohi! I'm so glad you've been enjoying it! 🎉

Hey, thanks so much, Dan! - As others mentioned - Matthias (poisonedyouth) and Marcin (at are both great to keep up with. - Duncan McGregor @duncanmcg ( is very active - he posts weekly videos. - Also check out Márton Braun ( - he's actually now a developer advocate at JetBrains-sometimes more Android-focused, but still writes a lot about regular Kotlin stuff. - And also - @KotlinWeekly is a great way to keep up with the latest. Enjoy your Kotlin dive, and feel free to reach out as needed

Sure, I think you could craft a very nice rules engine DSL with Kotlin. And of course, creating it in Kotlin gives the users all the nice code completion features without needing you to build a separate plugin for IDEs. And it also gives them access to all of Kotlin's language features inside the DSL. If you're building a product to appeal to an audience beyond just Kotlin developers, then I suppose it could increase the barrier to entry. But otherwise, sounds like it could be a good fit. Let me know if you end up creating it!

Advent of Code in #Kotlin 2024 has been officially announced! It's a great way to explore exercise your skills and learn from other developers. Plus, JetBrains is offering some fun prizes! Check out their article for more details:

The #Kotlin team is narrowing their focus with regard to Kotlin Scripting features. Scripting for Gradle DSL and `.main.kts` are still in. REPL and some others are on the outs. Read all about it -

@SudhansuBMishra @zsmb13 You can use Compose Multiplatform on Windows currently. It runs on the JVM. You'll find it on the Compose website under "Desktop".

This week's #Kotlin video shows off function types, bound/unbound references, and property references - and some fun things you can do with them! Premieres Wednesday, but you can add it to your calendar today. 🗓️ Google - Outlook Web - Download Invite - 📽️ Or, just tell YouTube to notify you when it starts: As always, hang out in the chat and say hello to me and other Kotlin enthusiasts like yourself! See you then!
