Hello, why this does not compile? Is it some bytecode limitation? It compiles fine if functions are declared inside a class.

fun main() {
    fun foo() {
        bar()
    }

    fun bar() {
        println("Called")
    }

    foo()
}

Local functions must be defined before you use them.

because you're defining foo before bar exists. if the function is in a class, the bytecode can be rearranged to permit this, but not within a function where instructions have to execute sequentially
