There's a "library solution" for typeOf<T>() that will get you a generic JVM type, but it'd cost a class file for each call site at the moment.

--- That's getKType from the gist above ;)

But since it goes through javaClass it will lose variance and nullability info, wouldn’t it?

@dmitry.petrov I’ve yet to see an implementation of typeOf<T>() that doesn’t give a crippled KType. I’d love to have one!
