Hi, when exactly package level variable gets initialized? when it is imported like in python?

[Dias]

looks like it's not even initialized on import. Is it lazy init?

[Dico]

I assume that's platform dependant. On the JVM, it will be lazy because it uses static initializers.

[Dico]

In native and js, I don't know.

[Dico]

I would guess the teams of the respective platforms realized that lazy initialization is perhaps the better approach

[Dico]

In the end, all initialization needs to occur after the main function invocation, so I actually am not sure how else it would be done.

JS might be a special bean though
