A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I'm thinking about resurrecting this project.  Gradle is driving me nuts - my team at work spends probably 5 hours a week trying to figure out why Gradle is struggling on their machine.
Amper isn't an answer because I can't actually define any custom build tasks with it.  I have several pre-build commands that I have to have for my projects.
I just want to build my project without a bunch of stuff in the way and be able to better understand exactly what the heck the build system is doing.
