so I’m using DW with a Spring DI

and several things like that that are just cumbersome

If you want a Spring solution use Spring Boot. At work we have many Dropwizard projects, mostly microservices. Some shoe horn Spring in, some don't. Those without Spring are far simpler and more maintainable. Those without DI frameworks are the best of all IMO.

My client push for a DI not, me

I think that Dw will work well for a microservice, but not for this project, is just a normal webapp, to be honest we could do it with Django or Rails

or even Play

or Grails

I’m not the one making those decisions

I can’t resist to share it, true Body-of-Knowledge for distributed systems. https://github.com/aphyr/distsys-class

Does anyone happen to be using Play! with Kotlin?

I tried some time ago, it didn’t work. It requires sbt and all other Scala integration, so unlikely without serious limitations.

there is someone working on a Kotlin plugin for sbt

I don’t remember his name

Yeah, I’m using it. You can find it here: https://github.com/pfn/kotlin-plugin

My project is working with Kotlin. However, everything is getting compiled twice before running making for very long turnaround times

Yes, but it’s not the only issue. E.g. routing needs to be written in scala, and you have to have scala interoperable with kotlin in the single module, which doesn’t work, afaik

Ah, it works? Good to hear!

Yeah, other than turnaround time its great

Unfortunately if I can’t solve this issue I’m going to be forced to go back to Java. When the kotlinc compiler starts it complains about duplicate source roots, compiles, then recompiles before running. I think its an issue with the plugin which I’ve filed here https://github.com/pfn/kotlin-plugin/issues/7 with a sample project.

@pfn: could you please look into it?

What are the status of kotlinx.html and Kara projects? Both of them have the same package (kotlinx.html) for HTML DSL. Kotlinx.html seems to be more complete for HTML but both are maintained.

The idea was to migrate Kara to kotlinx.html, but it didn’t happen. Mostly because incompatibilities and not enough time to migrate kara-dependent applications…

Thanks for the info.

look into what? oh, the kotlin-plugin thing, I need a better reproducible project, the one provided didn't work for me

@apptreematt: I responded to that issue saying I can't repro because the project doesn't load for me

never saw any followup to proceed

@pfn: Yeah, not sure why that project didn’t work for you. We ended up going back to Java for that project. Thanks for looking at it.
