Needed some POC code on android last week, that was my first use of kotlin and my most memorable encounter: kotlin-stdlib / kotlin.experimental / and . So kotlin has bitwise "and" operator for bytes, but it's still experimental?

> I'm able to cut the number of lines by half while increasing readability.

What I've seen from kotlin code on the web is that sometimes code is so terse that it's too hard to understand, but it's probably because of not being accustomed to kotlin yet (I've written so convoluted erlang list comprehensions that I'm still ashamed, but those can squeeze 10 lines of java into one erlang line).
