today got interesting confusion Method accepting parameter as Any type, and by kotlin syntax definition client invoked this method not with round brackets but with curly brackets, and as type is Any, the syntax and compiler accepted it and method was invoked with closure type, which broke the runtime Is it possible somehow to restrict or avoid such behaviour on compile time level?

What was the error ?

yeah what do you mean by “broke the runtime”

I assume the error was that function that accepted

Any

was working with an assumption that that the parameter would be of non-functional type?

Sounds like something the code should just deal with - it is accepting "Any" after all. Maybe an inspection could be created that warns the developer, but I'm not sure the compiler should be getting involved here

yea, found the solution

that sounds like a pretty roundabout solution
