I think the most underrated announcement of today's @kotlinconf was kotlinx.rpc

This should theoretically let you do react-style server components (or shall I say - Server Composables)

Here's a quick preview of how that looks like

[Scott Hanselman 🌮 @shanselman]

Here’s the thing folks. I’ve been coding 32 years. When something like this happens it’s an organizational failure. Yes, some human wrote a bad line. Someone can “git blame” and point to a human and it’s awful. But it’s the testing, the Cl/CD, the A/B testing, the metered rollouts, an oh shit button to roll it back, the code coverage, the static analysis tools, the code reviews, the organizational health, and on and on. It’s always one line of code but it’s NEVER one person. Implying inclusion policies caused a bug is simplistic, reductive, and racist. Engineering is a team sport. Inclusion makes for good teams. Good engineering practices makes for good software. Engineering practices failed to find a bug multiple times, regardless of the seniority of the human who checked that code in. Solving the larger system thinking SDLC matters more than the null pointer check. This isn’t a “git gud C++ is hard” issue and it damn well isn’t an DEI one.

💡 IntelliJ IDEA Tip: you can enable language specific syntax highlighting on any String by annotating it with @Language("<lang>") or commenting with //language=<lang>.

Especially useful when used with Java 15+ Text Blocks
