Switching a lib from #Java to #Kotlin because of the latter's multiplatform support.
Switching from #maven to #gradle for the exact same reason.
I'm not sure how I feel about this.

Hot take from someone at German Perl Workshop #gpw2025 talking about his recent experience with #Android development:

"#Kotlin is like #Java, #VisualBasic and #Perl had a baby"

Wait, when you do

class Foo () {
val foo: Int

init { ... }

val bar: Int
}

in #Kotlin, it initializes foo, before it runs init, but bar doesn't get initialized until after ???

Who the heck thought that was a good idea?!

UPDATE: Aha! I guess I didn't realize there are "init blocks" in Kotlin, and thought they're the same as “init methods” in other languages, but you can have multiple init blocks, and there are separate "constructors" in Kotlin.
