i m trying to make a generic json mapper plugin ``` FunctionalInterface interface JsonToObjectMapper fun lt T gt map json String targetClass Class lt T gt T var jsonToObjectMapper = object JsonToObjectMapper use lambda here somehow override fun lt T gt map json String targetClass Class lt T gt T ``` according to this SO post <https stackoverflow com questions 22588518 lambda expression and generic method 22588738 22588738> you can t combine generics and lambdas in java but is it possible to achieve in kotlin somehow

@FunctionalInterface
interface JsonToObjectMapper {
    fun <T> map(json: String, targetClass: Class<T>): T
}

var jsonToObjectMapper = object : JsonToObjectMapper { // use lambda here somehow?
    override fun <T> map(json: String, targetClass: Class<T>): T {
    }
}

according to this SO post (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22588518/lambda-expression-and-generic-method/22588738#22588738) you can't combine generics and lambdas in java, but is it possible to achieve in kotlin somehow?

@Czar that doesn't do work, and also i don't want to create a mapper for a specific type, the implementation should also be generic

Works for me :) as for generic type, yeah, there is no such thing as generic lambda, I believe
