I'd expect an IDE for Kotlin to detect `stuff like this` and select the entire name. Considering Kotlin came from JetBrains, IDEs are most likely already in the Kotlin community's DNA.
(i never wrote or anything related to Kotlin myself but i do appreciate IDEs helping with stuff like this)
- eptcyka 2y agoThis also means that JetBrains will never write a language server for Kotlin, locking you into their ecosystem.
- int_19h 2y agoIt doesn't lock you into their ecosystem given that other people can (and have) written language servers for Kotlin.
- eptcyka 2y agoWhich are not nearly as capable and will forever be catching up. For a better situation look at Apple’s sourcekit. I’d take kotlin over swift in less than a heartbeat if it was more open source than Swift. Which us a very low order.

- jeroenhd 2y agoI my experience it performs quite similarly, but Kotlin code can be a lot denser so similar files don't look similar at first glance. It also really doesn't like Java with generics for some reason. Still beats any other Java IDE I've seen.
