CAN KOTLIN SAVE ME FROM MY GROOVY BUILDSCRIPTS?
Open Source and Research, Talk, Intermediate

We all know and love to use Kotlin in our Android apps, but did you know you can also use it to write your gradle build scripts?

This talk will cover the pros and cons of migrating your buildscripts from Groovy to Kotlin. Is Kotlin more understandable than Groovy? Does it compile faster than Groovy? Is type safety and advantage in build scripts? This talk will also cover how the Kotlin Gradle DSL works under the hood.
