A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

kotlinlang

<@UAB798V97> <https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/lazy_configuration.html> is the official docs
i think it makes it simpler to compose things together and not rely on configuration-time evaluation ordering

<@U1BASJRMW> thanks, I now have one additional layer of complete utter confusion to pile on very high stack accumulated over the years.   So far using 'plain properties' instead of Property&lt;&gt; ( or Provider&lt;&gt; whatever that is ...) is behaving identically for me, with the exception that 'plain properties' dont add additional inconsistent syntax to the users.   So far the only place I can *deduce* there would be a difference is if one stored (or passed via argument) a Property&lt;&gt; reference instead of a reference to the container object -- I havent found any places/samples that actually do that.  (I dont doubt there are somewhere.  someone went to a lot of effort to add a new abstraction )

haha yeah i can understand your hesitation
