В этой статье рассказываем, как мы пытаемся это исправить с помощью NLP. Читать далее Read more ›

![[Перевод] Kotlin переходит к деструктурированию по именам](https://times42.com/media/8/1/3/12432813_640x200.jpg "[Перевод] Kotlin переходит к деструктурированию по именам")

Если поменяли порядок параметров в data class или сделали age вычисляемым свойством: то та же строка начинает доставать другое поле. Причем иногда код даже скомпилируется, но, конечно, смысл изменится: val (age, name) = person.И вот теперь Kotlin эксперементально переводит круглые скобки на деструктурирование по имени. Синтаксис будет такой:... Read more ›
