A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I’ve searched this channel for answer to this, and found nothing (perhaps I’m doing it wrong :-) ), but is there a way to do the following using KClass...

Class.forName(...).newInstance()


You wouldn’t be able to do it in common code.  If your platform is jvm or android you can use normal reflection to create a new instance.  Reflection on native is too limited to do that.  You’ll need a different way.  DI frameworks like Koin let you associate closures that are in charge of creating a new instance with a class.  You could do something like that.

Associating factory closures with a class? Yes, I don’t see why not.  I know almost nothing about Kotlin/JS though.  I only use Kotlin on Android and iOS.
