One of my outcomes of @ktconf.bsky.social is an improved version of my "FIR Tree" plug-in, that now can show the statements/implications in the Control Flow Graph

Couldn’t be happier with yesterday’s 1st edition of KTConf.be.

Some quick stats:
We had a total of 59 Kotlin fans attend, including 8 speakers, of which 5 international ones.

Big shout out to Kunlabora, Triple D, DPG Media, PTV Logistics and of course @jetbrains.com for their amazing support.

Are you using ignoreUnkownKeys = true with KotlinX Serialization? Then maybe you've missed the recent release of @ JsonIgnoreUnkownKeys.

Allows you to create exceptions to strict parsing in the case of legacy schemas, flaky APIs, or library development!

Context-sensitive resolution for @kotlinlang.org!!! Aka “stop asking me to write the name of the enumeration class 1000 times, I’ve already told you”

Márton Braun @zsmb.co · Aug 7

New Kotlin video! Context-sensitive resolution is one of those features that will kind of quietly blend into the background while making a lot of code much nicer. And you can already try it in Kotlin 2.2 as an experimental feature!
