The Kotlin Standard Library

This module creates the standard library for kotlin.

Notes for contributors

We use some code generation to apply the various collection-like methods to various different types like arrays, strings, kotlin.Iterable and java.lang.Iterable etc.

To run the code generator from a kotlin checkout

cd libraries/stdlib
mvn test-compile exec:java

This then runs the GenerateStandardLib.kt script to create the source from the files for java.lang.Iterable and java.util.Collection etc.
