@douglarek If I remember correctly the

static

in this case is coming from the membership to the

companion object

. A

private val A

in a normal class should generate bytecode similar to

private final A

in java. If all

val

objects created

static

bytecode that would severely limit its usefulness. (I.E. all instances would be forced to have the same value)
