A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

Btw, why Kotlin has its own `object EmptyList`? There are already `Collections.emptyList()` and `List.of()`…

&gt; `Collections.emptyList()`
doesn’t exist outside of the jvm
&gt; `List.of()`
is only in Java 9 and newer

&gt; doesn’t exist outside of the jvm
If course, but stdlib has many MPP expect/actual declarations including `listOf(T) = singletonList(t)`

&gt; is only in Java 9 and newer
Yep, the point is just that there's too many duplication already.

This is on my list of things to fix. It's small, but wasteful. I see it in every Android app.

You mean, rewrite it with R8?

No. Fix the stdlib to expect/actual the function and move that impl to JS and native only.

Or we could just write a kotlinc intrinsic which rewrite calls to listOf() to Collections.emptyList() and let R8/ProGuard remove the now-unused object

&gt; a kotlinc intrinsic
`actual inline fun` would be enough

Send 'em a PR. I won't get to it for a while.

Oh... IDEA dies dramatically on just 10kLoC Kotlin project, let's see what will happen on Kotlin itself.

1.5 hours passed. CPU load has gone, Gradle build still pretends to be running. Looks like my contribution is postponed till some next IDEA version :man-shrugging:
