Abstract

Kotlin is a delightful language and it's many great features were designed with the developer in mind. But, you know what they say — No great feature goes unpunished. Have you ever created an inline extension function using reified generics and wondered if it was possible to cram a coroutine in for good measure? I have. And, I'm here to help. In a presentation far more humble than the title suggests, I'll walk you through my experiences with Kotlin and the tips, patterns, and techniques I've picked up along the way.
