Dissecting the stdlib
summary
Walk through of stdlib source with concrete code and compiled output: inspects the collections API and scope helpers, shows bytecode examples for lambdas, demonstrates how capturing a variable changes allocations (single shared instance versus per-call generated classes) and how inlining avoids that at the cost of code bloat. Covers reified generics, 1.3 contracts, extensions like apply/let/run, KTX utilities and the execute-around pattern with real examples and trade-offs.
