I'd like to share this very good news here:

...these seem to have arrived in the latest *1.30M1 Kotlin-Release* and relate to the possibility to have inline-classes _with initialisation,_ which should be good news to all validation- and DDD-ValueObjects afficionados :wink:

Thanks this is huge for me ! I will try this immediately :smile:

..now for the usual hunt for the new dependencies :laughing: :cry: good luck

"Pro-Tip" never press this button in the Gradle section :joy:

for a jvm-only project, this does it for me
```plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.4.30-M1"```


otherwise it is this plugin
```id("org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm") version "1.4.30-M1"```


Non-public constructors for inline classes is so good!
They still box a little too much imo but they are slowly getting better. God I wish we had haskell newtypes everywhere :sweat_smile:

Still waiting for Arrow's refined types :smile:

Yeah compile time checked refined types which are also inline are gonna be great. Especially since arrow-meta has the freedom of just ignoring support for java-to-kotlin calls (which holds kotlin back quite a bit in several places)

me too, refined types is the feature I look forward to most
