Kotlin • Singleton objects • String interpolation • Elvis operator
! • Destructuring • Extension functions • Scoping functions @askashdavies
Maintaining History @askashdavies
Maintaining History • Change extension .java -> .kt • First
commit • Apply Kotlin conversion • Second commit @askashdavies
Maintaining History Refactoring @askashdavies

Refactoring SOLID • Single-responsibility • Open-closed • Liskov substitution •
Interface segregation • Dependency inversion @askashdavies

Asynchronicity @askashdavies
Concurrency is Hard @askashdavies
Thread new Thread(() -> { foo(); }).start(); @askashdavies
