but also, if you're only using one class here, why not just use filterIsInstance<T>?

[Ray Rahke]

is this faster in terms of performance?

[Shawn]

faster than what?

[Ray Rahke]

just doing a filter { }

[Shawn]

if you just filter, you'll have to cast afterwards

Cannot use 'T' as reified type parameter. Use a class instead.

[Shawn]

inline fun <reified T : AbstractBase> find(): T {
    return instances.filterIsInstance<T>().first()
}

[Ray Rahke]

and i can use inline for methods on classes I assume

[Ray Rahke]

yes

[Shawn]

yep

@Shawn thanks a lot for your help
