A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

Basically what I do not understand is why people are using plain functions 

```
data class Field private constructor(val a, val b, val c) {}

fun parseFieldFrom(str: String): Field {}
```

instead of placing ‘em inside a companion object
```
data class Field private constructor(val a, val b, val c) {
  companion object parser {
    fun parse(field: String): Field {}
  }
}
```
It just keeps namespaces much more cleaner.

And for me it’s much more intuitive to call a `Field.parse()` instead of a `parseFieldFrom()`.
