@napperley I'm pretty sure that would work 🙂 Let us know if you try!

[napperley]

Would like to try out the Kotlin 1.1.4 EAP via SDK Man, unfortunately JetBrains don't upload EAPs to SDK Man 🙁.

[edvin]

Do you need to use SDK Man?

[napperley]

Yes. SDK Man makes managing development environments mere "Child's Play" simple smile, otherwise you end up in a situation similar to what occurred in Python before virtual environments were invented.

[edvin]

Why not just use Maven or Gradle? 🙂

[napperley]

Need the environment managed for the tools. If it was just libraries then Gradle would be fine.

[edvin]

So you use the tools from the command line as well? I see 🙂

[napperley]

SDK Man manages the environment variables and other important bits that might be overlooked by a sw dev at the terminal level. Can even temporarily use a different version of the Kotlin REPL in a terminal until you open up a new one.

[napperley]

Gradle can even be managed by SDK Man.

[edvin]

So.. you use a package manager to manage a package manager? I'm sure there is a meme in there 😁 😎

[edvin]

Hehe.. just pulling your leg 🙂 I understand why you're doing it and it is a good idea if you work with the CLI tools indeed.
