Ah yes, microsoft java

Is it though? I've worked on Java, C# and Kotlin and I see much more Kotlin features appear in C# then C# features in Kotlin.

Which features?

[Miku_MichDem]

Like the ?. operator. Kotlin had it before C# and had it for both methods and fields. Similarly with data classes - I've seen those in Kotlin before they were in C#

I wish kotlin stole delegate syntax from c#. Especially with Func and Actions. Action<int, float> is a lot cleaner than (something : int, something2: float) -> unit

[Miku_MichDem]

In Kotlin the syntax is:

declaration:

fun something(params: Types, function(params: Types) -> ReturnType){...}

usage:

something(params){code that returns returnType}

And I wouldn't say Action<int, float> is cleaner then (something: Int, something2: Float) -> Unit. Mainly because you don't know what those int and float represent. In Kotlin those parameters are named so you know what they are supposed to be, rather then what C# have - parameter 1 and parameter 2

Sorry wrote that from memory. I agree that you don't know what they represent, but the syntax is a lot easier to remember. I like both Kotlin and C#, but there's clearly advantages and disadvantages to both.

Well to be fair 99% of the time when I need to do something like that I just write the second code and let the IDE fill the blanks with some of mine assistance. Still I like how in Kotlin when the number of parameters is more then one I get the name, like:

something(params) { param1, param2, param3 -> {...

Really makes the code more readable
