Why we can't have nice things in Kotlin | Vsevolod Tolstopyatov

Recording brought to you by American Express. americanexpress.io/kotlin-jobs
Have you ever wondered what challenges Kotlin standard libraries encounter? How is the new API affected by insect collection in 1800s and trade routes with Australia? What twitter polls have to do with Kotlin compiler not working in Turkey? Or maybe how the missing alarm makes us add a new parameter to a function?
In my talk, I'll answer these questions and briefly cover some unusual problems we tackle on a regular basis in Kotlin Libraries.

Experienced engineers don't mess with timezones and use a timestamp long, do all the compute with it and then convert to strong in front end

I moved from swift to kotlin for my leetcode and figured out how strong is Kotlin , never discovered this during my last 4 yrs with kotlin in android.

Daylight Saving Time adds more light time to evenings in summer, not in winter. It makes winter days go dark earlier. At least in northern hemisphere. I never thought about how it works in New Zealand. I guess it's much crazier there.

I really want to use kotlin or kotlin/native to replace javascript in web, and rust in wasm/wasi/system layer, so coooooool
