wow, just learned about KType which is exactly the thing I need!
Now I’d love to get a KType from a reified generic argument 🙂

I found this, but it uses reflection since there is no other way:

So my suggestion is to add SomeClass::type to get it’s KType instead of KClass. It’s only available when the type is known at compile-time - as it is with reified.

inline fun <reified T> test() {
    println("Type is ${T::type}")
}

test<List<String>>() // prints "Type is kotlin.collections.List<kotlin.String>"
