Dissecting Kotlin: Unsealing the Sealed, the SAM, and Other Syntax

on YouTube ↗42m

" summary

Shows concrete changes and tradeoffs: sealed interfaces (Kotlin 1.5) enable exhaustive when checks across interface axes, data objects (Kotlin 1.9) give object declarations equals/hashCode/toString, and unsigned types with literal U suffix clarify bit-level representations for things like ARGB colors. Demonstrates value/inline classes that inline to primitives for performance, uses flicks flicks = 1/705600000 s for video timing, inspects generated bytecode and decompiled output, and explains SAM/functional interface conversions for Java interop.
