I'm just getting started with kotlin...can anyone expain what the with clause does? Is it similar to python's with?

[voddan]

It does what python's and javascript's with does

[voddan]

Altho note that in kotlin with is a function in the library, and its code describes its precise behaviour

[voddan]

public inline fun <T, R> with(receiver: T, block: T.() -> R): R = receiver.block()
