Someone happened to ask the same thing yesterday 😒imple_smile:

And i thought i got it but got it confused. Usually when i call a function dealing with generic type, i would be providing a specific parameter at call site, so in what cases would one pass a generic parameter?

Synthetic example:

inline fun <reified T> foo() = println(T::class)
fun <T> bar() = foo<T>() //oops

Ah, got it

No, it's not that bad is it?

I meant like a single usage of reified applied instead of repeating it

Yeah I get is now, my bad. But no, there's no shorter way.

Got it
