Kotlin features language support for the delegator pattern using by clauses. Because this is a built-in language feature, it should be
used as an idiom instead of resorting to custom idioms.
What is the potential impact?
Readability and Understanding
This change makes it easier to understand the code because this is how delegation is intended to be used in Kotlin. When developers share common
standards and idioms, they need to spend less effort understanding each other’s code.
Code Redundancy
Using a built-in language feature or a standard API is always better than a custom implementation, because the reimplementation of something that
already exists is unnecessary.
