Generating Kotlin Code
summary
Kotlin generation moves many runtime checks into compile time (nullability, readonly lists, constructor-enforced fields) and often replaces Java builders; the team builds and ships KotlinPoet to model types, properties and code blocks and it reliably emits idiomatic Kotlin while handling imports and refactoring. For Java interop they perform ASM bytecode edits to fix metadata when needed, and they document pitfalls like reified types caveat and multiplatform stdlib annotation gaps.
