A Kotlin-based Build Programming Language for Gradle, the popular open source Build automation software

From simplistic shell scripts or inflexible XML files, to the age of Continuous Delivery and DevOps, Builds automates and assembles, connects, tests, packages and in many cases deploys or ships. 

Henceforth, Gradle is taking the next step in elevating the discipline of build automation by supporting writing Gradle builds in Kotlin; a modern, pragmatic, and statically-typed language developed by JetBrains. 

This means, Gradle users will leverage usability and performance, and deep IDE support in IntelliJ IDEA and Eclipse; including refactoring, symbol navigation, code completion and content assist. Gradle is billed now as the new market leader for build automation.
