Kotlin Function Generics - Upper Bound Not Working
I faced some issue regarding usage of Kotlin generics in functions
fun doSomething(): T {
return String() as T
}

class Something(intValue: Int)

Something(doSomething()) // Doesn't show any compile error

Now when it is executed it throws error
java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.String cannot be cast to class java.lang.Number
Wanted to know why Kotlin compiler is not throwing error for incompatible typecasting
