This allows us to pass a lambda when a method receives by parameter an interface with a single method.

Next came the talk “New Language Features in Kotlin 1.4” where the new language features in the latest version were discussed. Sharing statistics and usage, using early-access-programs (EAP), reporting problems or incompatibilities through YouTrack are some of the things that help improve and evolve the ecosystem. The next conference focused on the Kotlin community and how to contribute to the project.

Although I personally did not use this element I think it is interesting and a good initiative. Besides, some of the conferences had an extra set of tests to check what was learned, even with the option of winning prizes.

The conference was always accompanied by a space of 10 minutes dedicated to questions and answers. All the conferences were concentrated in the afternoon, which was a great success.įor this event, unlike other 100% online events, they opted to pre-record the conferences in order to obtain a more controlled result and avoid problems associated with live events. The event took place over 4 days with short lectures, usually less than 30 minutes, and lectures were grouped according to their subject matter, each day dedicated to a different aspect. Recently, the Kotlin Online Event organized by Jetbrains was held to discuss the latest version of the language and also to replace what in principle and under normal circumstances would have been the KotlinConf that has been postponed for next year.
