+1 from my side. I tripped into this pit 2 times since yesterday where the IDE was complaining about unsigned int stuff even though the compiler is 1.5.10, because the outdated gradle plugin defaults to apiVersion=“1.4”, languageVersion=“1.4"
its just so suprising that this is now going on for the last 2 EAP cycles. the people most interested in trying eap builds are probably also using kotlin 1.5 already and can’t try the eap because its incompatible to the new syntax. (this was less of a problem with 1.3 to 1.4 because there were not so many new language features). to me it sounds strange to even start an eap cycle when the current kotlin version is not yet merged. But it probably depends if you consider kotlin to be an integral part of intellij idea, and a first class citizen.
