rant, but !really.

Trying out this new Kotlin language. Pretty cool, except for...

val str: String = "what the fuck is this syntax?"

Is there not implicit typing?

@spongessuck There is! Though, the observation was about the explicit​ typing syntax: I find it to be quite funky.

P.S. Also, I can't say I like the idea of allowing for both kinds of typing, but that's a topic for a different rant, ha-ha.

Many modern languages you can do either way; you usually need explicit typing if you don't set a value right away.

@spongessuck Yeah, I agree with that. I guess, what I meant was: I haven't seen a popular language that wouldn't substitute "var" or "let" (or anything similar) for the explicit type, though!

In case you're not talking about my P.S. statement.

Yea, Question it and it turns Null 😂

It' Typescript-like
