Hey, with gradle kotlin scripts, one of the things that I find a bit toooo noisy compared to plain groovy gradle scripts, is the necessity to put in ${property("foo")} inside dependencies definitions, i.e., compile("com.google.protobuf:protobuf-java:${property("protobufVersion")}") I know there is another way of defining the var inside the kts file, var foo="1.2" then using $foo inside the dependency definition. The latter being more "groovy" like (without the var definition). Is there no shorter way of expressing this?

Anyway, using `val`s seems the best for now. Unless something changed since I tried Gradle+Kotlin.

You can also make a less verbose utility function like prop("nameOfProperty")
