Is there any reason why listOf(1, 2.0) inferred type is List<Any> instead of List<Number> or should I add it to bug tracker?

Try searching first. It has been discussed on slack before

As far as I can recall it is not easy get a good common super, and can slow down the compiler quite a bit

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-7420 is probably it.
Has been open for over 3 years… 😢
