Gradle plugins? I wouldn't choose it over Java full time but it has some niceties like multi-line strings to help with testing.

- Larrikin 9y agoThose can be written in Kotlin now.
- twic 9y agoYou can write the plugins themselves in Java, and so i assume in any JVM language. Having written a few, i prefer Java to Groovy, as the Gradle API (SPI?) is pretty complicated, and it's reassuring to have my use of it typechecked. It's Gradle build scripts themselves that can now be written in Kotlin instead of Groovy. I haven't tried that yet, but it sounds pretty fresh.
