A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

alright, after having a fun time with kobalt on a little fun open-source project `getoptk`, im now looking at kobalt as a replacement for `ant` at work. Some problems that I'm going to need to solve:
- many semi-conventional source directories (currently `$root/Common/src/`, `$root/Front-End/src/`...) seems like I can pretty easily manually update the source sets with `sourceDirectories`
- dependencies are all checked-in jars and DLL's. I guess I'll need to do some kind of clever regex or a bunch of manual effort to get them out of this checked in form and into the `compile(varargs deps: String)` build script parameter. Any thoughts here?
- I need some custom JUnit and Cucumber targets. I absolutely dispise the ant targets here so my #1 goal is their replacement. Between these two runners there are a number of targets whose files are differentiated by file-name suffix (`XYZFixture` is a unit test and `ABCIntegrationTest` is an integration test)
- There will be some tasks that I'd still like to leave to ant, including some stuff around `install4j`, I'm hoping kobalt has ant integration similar to gradles, is `DevCharly/kobalt-ant` the best way to do this?
