@bamboo Working with gradle and having a strongly typed build system has drastically increased my productivity when it comes to solving build issues and adding features. I sing your praises to my coworkers. Thank you for your hard work and dedication on this project.

Thank you, Jonathan! Increasing Gradle users productivity is why we’re in this for so that sort of feedback is very rewarding to read. I cannot take all the credit however. @cbeams’ initial vision and leadership was fundamental to how the project turned out, @eskatos who’s recently joined the cause has infused the project with renewed enthusiasm and creativity and we also owe @ilya.chernikov and the Kotlin team a lot. 🙂

I totally agree with @jlleitschuh . I was super excited to hear about this project, and so were my colleagues. We have had lots of frustrations around Groovy (not only in build scripts) that we have almost entirely abandoned the language (the very little is for of Jenkins). If there is any other ways to contribute (like
