@nil2l @karelpeeters Thanks. I tried already a listOf solution and it didn't work because of inheritance. Well, I guess then the simple is solution is directly readable and I stick to this. Thanks for your efforts 🙂

the when solution was at least a little bit more concise

[halirutan]

Ahh, damn. I don't use Slack that often and I haven't seen the direct reply. Thanks for throwing it into my face

[Shawn]

haha, no worries dude

[nil2l]

But this one works well with inheritance. No?

val v = HashSet<String>()
listOf(String::class, Set::class).any { it.isInstance(v) }

[karelpeeters]

But is that really better?

[nil2l]

It’s shorter. Looks not good because of ::class. And I don’t know if it will require kotlin-reflection as dependency.

As for problem I think it must be solved via common interface, and not if-is’s.
