Kotlin Hello World

Yesterday I did a Hello World in Kotlin following the first free chapter of the book Kotlin in Action: 

   1 data class Person(val name:String, val age: Int? = null)
   2 
   3 fun main(args: Array<String>) {
   4 
   5     val persons = listOf(Person("Alice", age=35), Person("Bob", age=27))
   6     val oldest = persons.maxBy { it.age ?: 0 }
   7     
   8     println("The oldest is: $oldest")
   9 }

Using this nice web IDE for experimentation: try.kotlinlang.org there is an option to see the kotlin source code converted to Javascript:

   1 Kotlin.out.flush();
   2 (function (Kotlin) {
   3   'use strict';
   4   var _ = Kotlin.defineRootPackage(null, /** @lends _ */ {
   5     Person: Kotlin.createClass(null, function (name, age) {
   6       if (age === void 0)
   7         age = null;
   8       this.name = name;
   9       this.age = age;
  10     }, /** @lends _.Person.prototype */ {
  11       component1: function () {
  12         return this.name;
  13       },
  14       component2: function () {
  15         return this.age;
  16       },
  17       copy_bm4lxs$: function (name, age) {
  18         return new _.Person(name === void 0 ? this.name : name, 
  19             age === void 0 ? this.age : age);
  20       },
  21       toString: function () {
  22         return 'Person(name=' + Kotlin.toString(this.name) + (', age=' + 
  23             Kotlin.toString(this.age)) + ')';
  24       },
  25       hashCode: function () {
  26         var result = 0;
  27         result = result * 31 + Kotlin.hashCode(this.name) | 0;
  28         result = result * 31 + Kotlin.hashCode(this.age) | 0;
  29         return result;
  30       },
  31       equals_za3rmp$: function (other) {
  32         return this === other || (other !== null && (typeof other === 'object' && 
  33             (Object.getPrototypeOf(this) === Object.getPrototypeOf(other) && 
  34                 (Kotlin.equals(this.name, other.name) && 
  35                     Kotlin.equals(this.age, other.age)))));
  36       }
  37     }),
  38     main_kand9s$: function (args) {
  39       var oldest;
  40       var persons = Kotlin.modules['stdlib'].kotlin.collections.listOf_9mqe4v$(
  41           [new _.Person('Alice', 35), new _.Person('Bob', 27)]);
  42       maxBy_l82ugp$break: {
  43         var iterator = persons.iterator();
  44         if (!iterator.hasNext()) {
  45           oldest = null;
  46           break maxBy_l82ugp$break;
  47         }
  48         var maxElem = iterator.next();
  49         var tmp$0;
  50         var maxValue = (tmp$0 = maxElem.age) != null ? tmp$0 : 0;
  51         while (iterator.hasNext()) {
  52           var e = iterator.next();
  53           var tmp$1;
  54           var v = (tmp$1 = e.age) != null ? tmp$1 : 0;
  55           if (Kotlin.compareTo(maxValue, v) < 0) {
  56             maxElem = e;
  57             maxValue = v;
  58           }
  59         }
  60         oldest = maxElem;
  61       }
  62       Kotlin.println('The oldest is: ' + Kotlin.toString(oldest));
  63     }
  64   });
  65   Kotlin.defineModule('moduleId', _);
  66   _.main_kand9s$([]);
  67 }(Kotlin));
  68 
  69 Kotlin.out.buffer;
That is cool to see.
