Migrate to kts build script
Closed this issue · 4 comments
From gradle 4.0, it's possible to using to Kotlin DSL for gradle scripts. Using this language is better because Android Studio doesn't support syntax highlighting for Groovy. And using this language improve build performance.

I can help for migration :)
I have already doing migration for Exodus app
Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I don't have a strong preference between Groovy and Kotlin for the Gradle scripts at the moment. Is Kotlin actually faster though? This seems to show quite the opposite...
I think they have already accepted AND acknowledged that it... although saying 'might be slower' is fudging it; it DEFINITELY will be slower. :)
Implemented with #298, with only negligible effect on build times. Thanks @Jean-BaptisteC!
