Hi all, I was recently added as a contributor and created a JIRA ticket related to the existing Katas (https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-10027), specifically creating one that targets Kotlin specific as there are quite a few existing examples out there for Kotlin, so I thought a Kata course that would parallel the existing Java, Go, and Python ones.
I basically ported over the existing Java Katas, added the appropriate dependencies, and converted all of the Java files over to Kotlin, and ensured that all of the tests pass as expected. I'd love outside of this to see if we can shift it to a Stepik course as well if that seems reasonable similar to those mentioned in this thread. My current branch awaiting a PR can be found here (https://github.com/rionmonster/beam/tree/BEAM-10027), however I'm unsure who would be the best to review such a PR and what other steps might need to be taken before trying to get it merged in. Any feedback would be welcome! Thanks, Rion On 2020/05/14 23:40:45, Rion Williams <rionmons...@gmail.com> wrote: > +1 on the contributions front.
