Sure, but one might argue that Person("Dave", age = 30) is also resolvable at compile-time. Is there anything else that requires const?

[Ruckus]

One would be wrong

[karelpeeters]

Of course, I was just arguing that Jake's explenation wasn't really intuitive for a beginner.

Person("Dave", age = 30) could also invoke a init block, adding logic that can't be known at compile time, such as serialization, network requests, and GUI operations

[karelpeeters]

Let's say for he purpopses of my argument there's data class Person(val name: String, val age: Int) right below it.

[benleggiero]

Yes, but this is still perfectly valid:

data class Person(val name: String, val age: Int) {
    init {
        println("Oops")
    }
}

[benleggiero]

Perhaps a const data class that doesn't allow any initializer logic, and whose parameters must be const as well?

[benleggiero]

this is starting to sound a lot like that inline data class idea
