A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

is there any difference in these two approaches?
```
Utils.Kt
object Utils {
      fun doSomething(){
}

vs

Utils.Kt
fun doSomething(){
}```

First one is a class with a single instance and an instance method called `doSomething`
Second one is a static function called `doSomething` that is surrounded by a final class

performance wise, would 2nd approach be better?

Performance difference shouldn't be that big.

first approach means an instance of `Utils` has to be created once, but that would be negligible if you call `doSomething` a lot of times, so without any measurements I'd guess that they are similar in performance

and I wouldn't make the choice of static vs non-static function on the basis of performance
