Invoke Operator for Callable Objects
Make class instances behave like functions
Kotlin Academy
Kotlin Engineer
Defining an invoke operator function on a class makes its instances callable with function syntax. This enables Strategy and Command patterns where validators, policies, or transformers are objects that can be stored, composed, and passed around. The plus operator further enables building complex validators from simpler ones using a combinator pattern.
