A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

This piece of code does not compile:
```    
val byteVal:Byte = 0
val isZero = byteVal == 0
```
You have to change it to this to make it compile (and run):
```    
val byteVal:Byte = 0
val isZero = byteVal == 0.toByte()
```
This seems overly complicated to just compare a byte-value with a literal. Do we really have to call a method (`toByte()`) to do this?
Is there a modifier (much like `L` for longs and `f` for floats) to make this simpler and less expensive?
