Javalin is better suited for smaller/simpler projects (the library is a lot easier to understand and easier to setup). Vertx is a lot more powerful. If I ever found myself in a position where I'd need to create a massive and perfo

I'm slightly biased of course, but Javalin is just a lot simpler to use. That might be because it's inherently simpler, or because Ktor's docs (as you pointed out) are very incomplete. I've tried to setup simple apps in

It's not that much more work. You have to be careful with a few concepts (like SAM/Functional interfaces), but most of the time you can just write in Kotlin. I want to support both because a lot of companies are probably like the

Sorry about that. Getting people to participate on GitHub is pretty hard. I feel dirty for doing it, but it helps.

That's the point. It's not a framework for kotlin purists, but for java-shops/java-devs who want to try out kotlin. It should work more or less the same in both languages.
