I know you can delegate an interface implementation, but can you delegate a class functionality? If not why? I want to implement a class and use a delegate for most of its functionality, while overriding just a few methods, the closest thing i could find to this was lombok's @Delegate annotation, which i am not sure if it even works on kotlin jvm

You mean inheriting from two classes? If yes, then that is not possible by design in java, which also propagated to kotlin.

You can achieve the same with either abstract class or with a normal class having open methods with default implementations. Look at android.view.GestureDetector.SimpleOnGestureListener
