Function builders

Kotlin uses another builder pattern to model eDSLs like the HTML example (https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/type-safe-builders.html). Strangely they have not even been mentioned in the draft proposal.
The idea there is that div for example is a simple function with a closure parameter that is called on a receiver being supplied by div . The other elements h1 , p etc. are then methods of the receiver object which solves gathering the results quite nicely.

Well spotted. This has been recently discussed here in this thread: Receiver Closures
