Kotlin - Dissecting the Stdlib

Dive into the Kotlin standard library in this 52-minute conference talk from GOTO Chicago 2019. Explore idiomatic Kotlin by examining the source code of stdlib methods and tools. Discover intermediate to advanced language features, elegant syntax, and high-level abstractions to enhance your ability to write fluent objects and interfaces. Gain insights into collections API, function literals, Kotlin bytecode, and comparisons with Java. Learn about higher-order functions, Kotlin extensions, lambdas with receivers, closures, captures, inlining, and return conventions. Improve your Kotlin programming skills by understanding the design principles behind the standard library.
