]]> Episode 9, Part 1: Kotlin Gradle plugin, compilers and build systems with Alexey Tsvetkov In this episode we have talked to Alexey Tsvetkov from Jetbrains about Kotlin Gradle plugin, compilers and build systems. Tue, 11 Apr 2017 08:30:00 +0000 https://artemzin.com/static/thecontext/episodes/The.Context.episode.9.part1.mp3 00:45:42 In this episode we have talked to Alexey Tsvetkov from Jetbrains about Kotlin Gradle plugin, compilers and build systems.

Important note for Pocket Casts app users: Unfortunately Pocket Casts android app has a problem with downloading our episodes (to listen to them offline). It seems that while downloading their android app is using a old http client which doesn't support latest TLS cipher standards we use on server side to host our episodes.

Nevertheless, streaming our episodes (instead of downloading) works in Pocket Casts android app.

See this tutorial: Pocket Casts: Streaming

In this episode we have talked with Alexey Tsvetkov who works at the Kotlin team at jetbrains on Kotlin's gradle plugin, compilers and build systems in general.

In the first part (of two parts) we have covered:

  • Gradle Build System and its build phases
  • Kotlin Gradle plugin
  • Compiling mixed Kotlin and Java projects
  • Incremental compilation
  • How a compiler works
  • Compiler Frontends and Backends

  • Unchecked exceptions
  • Generics
  • Base types: Any, Unit, Nothing
  • Traits
  • Delegates

This particular episode is a panel discussion with a very controversial title Rx Must Die. As you might know, all hosts of The Context podcast have very warm feelings about Rx and it was not an easy job for us to comment, Hannes and Artur were strong enough but Artem had to bail out (oof). We hope you enjoy this episode and find things to think about, remember if you want to discuss them — we have discussions on GitHub!
