A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

I’ve got a Kotlin codebase with Groovy/Spock tests. This is mostly fine, except for calling Kotlin functions with named parameters, and `copy` methods on data classes from Groovy.

Are there any nice ways to bridge between them? In an ideal world I suppose I’d translate from a Groovy invocation with a Map to named parameters. Perhaps a compiler plugin could overload methods with a version that takes a Map?

Even better would be if Idea understood that the Map’s keys should correspond to the function’s parameter names!

I elaborated on the question here:

Increasingly thinking that a Groovy global AST transformation is the way to do it.
