<p>Originally designed for Groovy, Gradle now supports writing scripts in Kotlin. Writing your scripts in Kotlin brings more compile-type safety and IDE features but also has a few drawbacks.</p> <p>In this talk, we will take a look some widely used Groovy constructs, their Kotlin equivalent and what’s happening under the hood. We will explore how Gradle loads scripts and uses Kotlin compiler flags to allow a the Kotlin DSL syntax.</p>

<p>In 2021 Kotlin turned 10 and the team delivered 2 major releases (1.5.0 and 1.6.0) and a few minors. The main themes of those releases were Java interoperability and consistency of the language features. Meanwhile, Kotlin/JS has been promoted to Beta and KMM is on its path to reaching Beta status as well. However, one long-running project in Kotlin is the development of the new compiler, K2, which should set a solid foundation for the language and the ecosystem for the years ahead.</p> ...

<p>Dependency Injection is a complicated topic, and when used in a project that compiles to multiple targets through different compilers &amp; runtimes, it can lead to serious headaches. However, the Inversion of Control pattern brings a lot of architecture features and safety.</p>

<p>The Kotlin typing system is amazingly designed. It was designed and constantly improved for years, and it was built based on experiences from other typing systems. As a result it gives us very comfortable nullability support, type inference, universal guards, and much more. In this presentation, we’ll dive deep into Kotlin typing systems and how small design choices lead to a better programming experience.</p>

<p>Grab your notebook cause in this talk, we are gonna talk about Math and Kotlin! Especially in the power that Kotlin has to run long operations and the power to perform some calculations like computing min, max, an average of numbers stored in a list! - from sumOf {} to multi-dimensional arrays to charts!</p>
