has there been a change in how kotlin handles arrays? because i'm using someList.toTypedArray() somewhere and in the debugger i can see it uses an Array-implementation instead of a js-native array...

No, it's just bad naming. toTypedArray returns Array<T>, which is admittedly confusing: https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.collections/to-typed-array.html

[anton.bannykh]

Use specialised function instead, e.g. `toIntArray`: https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin.collections/to-typed-array.html

you mean a Array<Int> will be translated to a native js array while an Array<T> wont?

[anton.bannykh]

I mean that an Array<Int> is translated to JS Array, whereas IntArray is translated to Int32Array

oh isee, thank you 🙂
