A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

```
/**
 * Signifies that the corresponding property has a getter.
 */
@JvmField
val HAS_GETTER = Flag(F.HAS_GETTER)
```

Can there ever be a property without a getter in the Kotlin metadata?

I think so, when you have an `@JvmField`, it's still a property Kotlin-wise

Even a property with `@JvmField` still has `HAS_GETTER` set but no getter method generated.

that said, there is a mean trick to make properties with inaccessable getter. But even those still have the HAS_SETTER flag

Oh I missed that answer somehow. Good to know, thanks.

I also can't think of a good use case right now for a setter-only property :thinking_face:
