can you make all the functions on an object static by annotating the object itself?

[Vincent Arndt]

Isn't making the class a singleton object the way to go?

It's easy to check, Tools > Kotlin > Show Kotlin Bytecode > Decompile

sorry, i meant @JvmStatic. i have a util that i call from both kotlin and java, and i would prefer not annotating every function with @JvmStatic

Why not using package function?

[Ruckus]

I agree with @Luke. Top level functions are the way to go, with a @file:JvmName to make it a little nicer on the Java side.
