Yes, Kotlin DSL does not support new multiplatform yet. And in general it wasn’t production ready for quite some time while ktor was being developed 🙂

Ah, wanted to contribute it 🙂 I saw kotlinc uses dsl, so that’s why i’m asking

And the Kotlin DSL and plugins are much more sensitive to the Gradle version you’re running than the Groovy DSL is.

I keep trying the Kotlin DSL and keep walking away.

Partially because I know the Groovy one quite well, and IntelliJ provides good assistance as long as you’re using the -all version of the wrapper.

And partially because I can get it to work in the Groovy easily, and I have things I’d rather focus on…

I suspect similar for the ktor team.
