A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I wanted to run a ktor sample using the most recommended way (command line, idea, maven, whatever) and failed! after 1 hour or more...
of course, I'm not from java land..
<https://github.com/Kotlin/ktor/wiki/Getting-Started>

I searched for kotlin build command line, and soon accepted that " everyone" uses the IDE. So I'm using the IDE instead. 
I searched for maven vs gradle and more people seem to recommend maven, so I tried to use that. 
I searched for kotlin web (wanted something embedded like I do in Golang) and ktor had many stars and recently updated, so i used that.

Still I could not get things to work..

What is the most straightforward way to think those things in javaland?
