Originally designed for Groovy, Gradle now supports writing scripts in Kotlin. Writing your scripts in Kotlin brings more compile-type safety and IDE features but also has a few drawbacks.

In this talk, we will take a look some widely used Groovy constructs, their Kotlin equivalent and what’s happening under the hood. We will explore how Gradle loads scripts and uses Kotlin compiler flags to allow a the Kotlin DSL syntax.

From git housekeeping to releasing. From keeping a sane backlog to handling internationalization and monitoring status, the life of a developer involves more than meets the eye.

This talk will be a feedback about how we use Kotlin extensively to:

• automate the dev workflows with command-line apps on dev machines.

• achieve CI independence with kotlin runners on CI machines.

• run Kotlin on the server using the gradle appengine plugin.

• ditch bash and perl and use kscript instead.

That's a lot to cover and the goal of this talk is not to dig into each technology but more to inspire and show the range of possibles opened by Kotlin.
