I got curious, so after some bytecode digging: Kotlin's == is syntactic sugar for a fancy equals with nullity checks.

Under the covers, it uses kotlin.jvm.internal.Intrinsics::areEqual, which is defined as:

public static boolean areEqual(Object first, Object second) {
        return first == null ? second == null : first.equals(second);
    }
