Ive been holding out for a long time in doing this. I sat down one weekend and went to town with Claude. It wasnt serious at first, especially given Gradles presence and actual partnership with JetBrains, but the more I think of this the more I feel like this makes sense. Konanc is getting faster, and Gradles complexity especially with newcomers I believe to be holding back adoption of Kotlin/Native.

Ive always been a fan of Rust. Ive used it for various personal projects before and loved the simplicity of Cargo.

I thought to bring that to Kotlin hoping that maybe that helps its adoption in the space between Rust itself and maybe Go?

I would love your thoughts and suggestions on this.
