I submitted a PR to an Android sample to convert the Gradle build to Kotlin.
There is an interesting discussion going on there
I'm curious what happens next 🙂

I think public sample is not the best place for dogfooding unfortunately, impact would be very low and don't think that it make sense to do before release of 4.0, because it's quite painful for users who just want to use camera sample
But I completely agree with your arguments in this thread
It's actually true for Gradle in general, Google just don't use it for own projects

@gildor "Public sample is not the best place for dogfooding"
That's a good point.
Indeed it would be great if they do dog-fooding in their own pet project
Oh, is that why it's called a pet project?
On the other hand, I cannot force them to do what they want in their pet projects.
So submitting a pull request to a public project is my best bet right now.
It's a good pretext to have a discussion with them.
Feel free to chime in that discussion 🙂
