For the Pythonista
Kotlin uses >>> as the prompt for it's REPL. This is nice and familiar for a Pythonista.
Looping
This program in Python
fruits = ['apple', 'orange', 'banana']
for i, f in fruits:
print(f'{i+1}\t{f}')
in Kotlin becomes:
val fruits = listOf("hello", "world", "apple")
for ((i, f) in fruits.withIndex()) {
println("${i+1}\t${f}")
}
A lot more () and {}, I know.
