Hi,
what is the difference between
val obj : Object = Object() and val obj: Object get() = Object() ?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

The former initialized the Object once and stores it in a backing field which is returned every time the obj property is read.
The latter reads Object every time the obj property is read (did you mean Object() there? in that case it would create a new instance on every read.)

assuming you write get() not @get()

[ephemient]

and you'd typically use Any not Object in Kotlin code

Oh yea, pretty sure @get() won’t even compile

yeah..I just typed this quickly sorry for the typos :)
