A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

As I understand it, if we want to declare constants, we have to use `const val` or `val` or `@JvmField val` in a companion object or file.  All three approaches have drawbacks:
1. `const val` requirements primitives or Strings.
2. `val` involves a method call (at least when calling from outside; I'm not sure about inside).
3. `@JvmField val` is ugly.

Is Kotlin going to address this situation? I think the status quo is not good.
