Hello,

We are using a Swift library that has the following implementation

@objc
    public func startProcess(_ configuration: Configuration? = nil,
                     delegate: ProcessDelegate) {
        // ...
        execute(using: params) { [weak self, weak delegate] in
            self?.notifyDelegate(delegate, event: $0)
        }
    }

What we were doing on Kotlin's end

startProcess(config, object : NSObject(), ProcessDelegate { /** rest */ })

And this caused us to not received any callback, we did not not it was a weak reference. Since we are not holding any reference to it. So we had to adjust our Kotlin code

var delegate: ProcessDelegate? = object : NSObject(), ProcessDelegate { /** rest */ })
startProcess(config, delegate)
// ...
delegate = null

It's no big deal, but for people not familiar not familiar with this concept, it could be frustrating.

Do you think some mechanism could be applied at compile time so it does not lose the reference? I doubt, but worth asking.
