Kotlin constructor val vs private val
If I have something like the following:
interface IRecordService {

fun doSomething () : Record

}

@MongoRepository
interface IRecordRepository : MongoRepository {

}

@Service
class RecordService (
private val recordRepository : IRecordRepository // or just val instead of private val
) : IRecordService
{

override fun doSomething () : Record {
// does something
}

}


Is there any difference between using private val in the RecordService constructor vs just val? I've seen...
