A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

<@U3T6LDWTD> My immediate reaction was similar to <@U0BLU7JTA>: it’s going to be hard to make a case for this that is not adequately captured by abstract factories. C# offers this concept, so that you can call `new` on a type parameter, but I’ve always found it unnecessary since you can just as well pass a lambda factory method.

Right, and there's nothing that Kotlin does that couldn't be done with some Java pattern, but I think the aim is to be better and easier than that
