Is it possible to fulfill the companion object of something typealiased to a java type? ie.

expect class Foo {
    companion object {
        fun of() : Foo
    }
}

actual typealias Foo = java.lang.String

It's in the docs

Where exactly?

[addamsson]

what I linked is a single page

[addamsson]

did you actually read it?

@spand No, currently Java classes can't be actual for expect classes with companions, because they do not have companion objects. But we're exploring such possibility.

@addamsson The docs don't answer this particular question.

[addamsson]

oh I see

mea culpa

Ok. Thanks for the reply!
