Gradle & Kotlin: the missing piece of the puzzle?

Hello friends,
I'm launching an open-source project that I worked on during KotlinConf!

I've written a larger article or why I did this. Basically I got interested in Gradle+Kotlin because was fed up with the *black magic* in Gradle+Groovy, of not understanding neither how it works or why it doesn't work.

Rewriting your entire build to Kotlin can be daunting, but you don't need to do that. I have found out that adding just a bit of Kotlin to your existing build can relieve a lot of that Gradle frustration. And my project `gradle-kotlin-dsl-libs` makes it easy to you have a first taste of Gradle+Kotlin.
