anyone using the kotlin for their gradle scripts? anyone recommend jumping in or holding off?

scott: I'm having bad experience with it

[scott]

yeah, I jumped in today and a new project and having a tough time. not much documented and both android studio and intellij are having trouble with multi-module project

[Sola]

ikr, this project needs improvements and more work

[scott]

i appreciate the progress, and it’s not 1.0 yet. so no biggie.

[scott]

but yeah excited for once it’s ready! not a fan of groovy 😞

Biggest problem with GSK is that there are major issues with getting it properly integrated with IntelliJ. Just changing the Gradle wrapper causes major grief! ☹️ Hopefully the IDE integration issues are resolved by the time GSK 1.0 arrives 🍀.

I've been using GSK in production since 0.3.1 and I'd totally recommend it. It took a while to get set up correctly, but these days it should just work, no? Import the project using the settings.gradle file and invalidate + restart in the worst case scenario. Are there specific problems you're having?

Once you get past the syntax differences between groovy and kotlin it will eventually become intuitive.

I have a few example projects that I've published on my github that may help provide a starting point for some of your logic.

I think it may have just been the project was already reasonably complicated. Probobly better to start with a simple project.
