A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

And what I want is to just call that method on something like: 
```
override fun &lt;T&gt; getFoo() : T? { return fromBytes(byteArray) }
```

In this case, you would need a reifiable reference to T

Maybe you could pass a `KClass&lt;T&gt;` though the constructor of the enclosing class?

then the common Java way of doing it has been to add an extra parameter to the constructor

hold on, I just realised T is not part of the class, but of the function

Hehe that’s what is been killing me for some hours now :disappointed:

Unfortunately I ended up providing the Class&lt;T&gt; through the method..
