A hacky way of updating an object with another objects data. This is a really bad pattern kids

dangerous_update.kt

/**
 * Loops through all fields in the receiving object and looks for fields 
 * with the same name in the sending object. Then it tries to copy non-null
 * values to the receiving object, and silently fails when something goes wrong
 *
 * Don't use this
 */
fun Any.update(new: Any) = javaClass.declaredFields.forEach { field ->
    try {
        field.isAccessible = true
        new.javaClass.getDeclaredField(field.name).also {
            it.get(new)?.let { value ->
                field.set(this, value)
            }
        }
    } catch (e: Exception) {
        println(e)
    }
