I created an issue for inserting a value for a constant at compile time, the one feature I miss from Go. Link: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-44386

I swear there's a compiler plugin for this.

I think it's called BuildKonfig or something.

Found it: https://github.com/yshrsmz/BuildKonfig

Seems a lot more complex than necessary for the feature, though. This is more so codegen than what I had in mind.

[Dominaezzz]

Yeah, it's a bit much. Perhaps a compiler plugin could make this better.

Here's an example compiler plugin, if you're not familiar. https://github.com/bnorm/kotlin-power-assert

I could (and might) attempt writing a compiler plugin for this, though I do believe it's valuable enough to include as base compiler functionality. I'll give it some thought.
