@spirosoik That question was asked at #codingconventions a couple of days ago. They agreed upon having it as a private const val at file level (outside the class).

thanks Marius.

The reason there is simple. You avoid generation of another class and static reference to object of that class that will hold your String field.

yes with companion object the byte code is insane. a whole class with a static ref.
