Sebastian explains how context receivers work in Kotlin 1.6.20 to elegantly constrain functions to specific contexts.

Kotlin 1.6.20 comes with a new toy: Context Receivers. You can use them to elegantly constrain functions (and more!) to a specific context from which they can be called. Sebastian (twitter.com/sebi_io) helps you figure out what exactly that means: Get a refresher on “receivers” in Kotlin, set yourself up to use the context receivers prototype in your own project, and get all the details about how context receivers work and how they can be used. #ContextReceivers #Kotlin #Programming #Development

Kotlin 1.6.20+ comes with a new toy: a prototype for the "Context Receivers" proposal! 🧪 They are powerful stuff: you can constrain functions & co. to a specific context from which you can call them. Check out Sebastian's video and try them yourself! 👀
