Small thing: why does the consistency check contains sudo snap install --classic kotlin?
Kotlin is installed by default on GitHub actions images

is it? I didn't even check 😅 if so, we can remove it

[Piotr Krzemiński]

it now takes 15-25 s to install it, so it will greatly speed up the consistency check

amazing

one thing to check: what version of Kotlin GH actions workers have. Installing one every time in theory gives more control over it

also.. i expect that we want to use kotlin 1.6.20 as soon as its released because of the script file location thing, not sure how long github will take to update the version

[Piotr Krzemiński]

good point, not sure how quickly GH bumps versions of their software after it's released. But another fun fact is that JetBrains had a lag in updating Kotlin in SnapStore, I reminded them to do it 😅

I think it's safe to go forward with it: https://github.com/actions/virtual-environments/discussions/5199#discussioncomment-2322769. If there are any issues in the future, we can add a feature in the library to install some Kotlin version explicitly

done

Pretty cool that they update it weekly 🙂
