Am having a migraine right now so hard to concentrate / think straight but it
seems all that syntax does is getting rid of a single character ?
Integer truth() { 42 }
could then be written as
Integer truth() = 42
or
String hello(String name) { "Hello $name" }
String hello(String name) = Hello $name"
(why did you use a return keyword in your sample ?)
I dont see an improvement in readability here - the main "advantage" is that
curly braces are annoying to input on non-US keyboard layouts ;-)

Hi,
One of the Kotlin features I really like is the short-hand notation for simple
expression methods:
class Foo {
fun truth(): Integer = 42
}
For example, in Groovy, you write:
@Controller("/") class HelloController {
@Get("/hello/{name}")
String hello(String name) {
return "Hello $name"
}
}
but we could write:
@Controller("/")
class HelloController {
@Get("/hello/{name}")
String hello(String name) = "Hello $name"
}
It's more concise and makes the "functional style" more readable. Is this
something Groovy users would appreciate?
