Very similar in C#:

var dog = new Animal(){ name="dog", numberOfLegs=4 };

I use it all the time.

The big difference there would be, in the C# example you've still got to write a bunch more boilerplate for Equals(), GetHashCode() and ToString(). Kotlin's data classes give you those three for free.
