I’m using reifier modifier but I’m still don’t understand how to use it, the following code basically execute the same, then what’s the purpose of reifier in Kotlin if both do the same:

fun <T> otherExecute(input: T){
    if (input is String){
        println((input as String).length)
    }
}

with reified and inline

inline fun <reified T> otherExecute(input: T){
    if (T::class == String::class){
        println((input as String).length)
    }
}
