I consider myself to traditionally be a backend engineer, though this has more been something I fell into rather than chose. I admit I feel I share some of your frustrations. In the past I have written production frontends in Angular and ex

This is exact how I write mine, I find it much more readable personally. The real challenge I've encountered is typically you can only use one expression. If I need to write a slightly more complex mapping I am forced to write a functi

Sadly it is actually the case. I recently worked on a project using the AWS SDK. We had written our code using Scala and had to up version the AWS SDK to 2.0. Because we used reflection with it, we encountered a Scala compiler bug (an illeg

I think one feature of Kotlin that is underestimated is extension functions. Combine them with autocompletion and you've got a great developer experience. Finding the method you need no longer requires a Google, and optimisation pays o
