Is it possible to build Kotlin/MPP projects without Gradle?

Are there any compilers, shell scripts, etc, that allow to build a project without Gradle plugin?

Is there anything, like, let me call it, Core Kotlin, that is used only as `common`  code?
Being able to use keywords `expect`/`actual`  only in pairing (Core Kotlin - target platform), are those words considered as part of some Core Kotlin, or as a part of that gradle mpp plugin, as there would be no sense to use it without that plugin?

I think i saw a guide on kotlin MPP intro page for maven setup now.

Also `expect/actual` are language constructs. You can `expect` in platform-specific sourceSet too!

sure it's possible. Gradle is just a build system that calls out to external tools to do the build.

MPP is supported through the gradle plugin

but are there any tools to do that without gradle or maven plugin?

but all the tools could be invoked manually if you have a desire to do things the hard way
