Powering-up your builds with Kotlin
Gradle now supports a Kotlin-based DSL that allows for better tooling, type-safety, and unprecedented expressiveness. What problems does Gradle Script Kotlin solve? How would you convert existing code to Kotlin? And how would it interact with Groovy in the process?
In this live coding session, we will walk through several Groovy-based build examples and convert them to Kotlin. In this process, we'll uncover a few interesting language features and demonstrate how your builds can leverage them to take your builds to the next level.
