Shorter: `val word: Live<String> = _word`

Shorter: val word: Live<String> = _word

Also less efficient, this creates an additional backing field to save the same reference rather than a public getter for the same backing field

Do you mean
val word: LiveData<String> = _word is less efficient than
val word: LiveData<String> get() = _word ?

[Yuri Drigin]

Are you sure? For me this is simply syntax sugar

You can take a look at the generated bytecode but last I checked, yes, if you don't include the get() = it means you create a new field in the object to hold the value
