just found out about @DslMarker.
world turned upside down, not sure what to think.
will sleep on it.

[ank]

why? what's so special about it?

[holgerbrandl]

same here, https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-dsl-marker/index.html could/should give an example. Is it baked into the compiler or just an annotation?

[karelpeeters]

The compiler definitely uses it, there's an elaborate example here: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/type-safe-builders.html
