inline fun <reified T : Enum<T>> enumKeywordAlternationGroup(decapitalize: Boolean): AlternationGroup {
    return enumValues<T>()
            .joinToString(prefix = "(", postfix = ")", separator = "|")
            { it.toString() }.also { when { decapitalize -> it.decapitalize() } }
}

fun keywordAlternationGroup(size: HowManyKeywords): AlternationGroup {
    require(size > 0) { "$size > 0 is false" }

    if (size < 2) return "(%s)"

    val sb = StringBuilder()

    for (k in 0 until size) {
        val isFirst = { k == 0 }
        val isLast = { k == size - 1 }

        when {
            isFirst() -> sb.append("(%s|")
            isLast()  -> sb.append("%s)")
            else      -> sb.append("%s|")
        }
    }
    return sb.toString()
}

fun String.wordBoundaryFrontAndBack() = "\\b$this\\b"

Note:
[1] Still in the design phase hoping to move into TDD next week time permitting.

Waiting for my brain to catch up to my ambition.

Reading list is below working through chapter 5 The joy of Kotlin. The book provides a nice bridge between Kotlin and Haskell. Will likely upgrade Kakoune to the latest release version around Xmas break. Back and forth between Kotlin and Haskell and enjoying the challenge, thanks for the push @SolitudeSF.

@SolitudeSF solved the ā€œstringsā€ problem the laziest way possible kakoune-kotlin.kak/rc

Next 12-months will look to implement something a bit more in the spirit of the challenge:

Starts at coding demo: KotlinConf 2019: Bootiful GraphQL with Kotlin by Dariusz Kuc & Guillaume Scheibel with the docs found here GraphQL Kotlin

Inspired by @delapouite real world example found at kakoune electron that uses kakounes Json-Rpc user interface.

Got a big second semester this year, so well see whats doable by years endā€¦
