A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

We’ve moved our project to Kotlin DSL (no biggie, 5 Android modules or so with some custom logic) and one of the main concerns I hear and feel is that using Kotlin forces you to understand how Gradle actually works which can be surprisingly non-trivial, especially with a lot of plugins doing things their own way. Using Groovy literally allows you copy-paste, using Kotlin forces you to rework it.

The `junit5()` method is a great example. Groovy auto-magically imports it from `dependencies.extra` and you can use it without any prior actions. With Kotlin it is actually necessary to look at the source code to determine where it was put.
