Does Kotlin always use reference while capturing local variables?
I looked at the generated java count and an IntRef is being used and that explains why lambda is able to see the latest values. ( testLambda basically starts another thread and executes provided lambda in a loop )

var mainCount = 0

testLambda {
println( "Count is $mainCount" )
}

thread {
while( true ) {
mainCount++
Thread.sleep( 1000 )
}
}
