Fuck it, I think I'm going full Kotlin.
Looks SO cute.
Any advice?
I'll use VSCode btw. Only VScode.

Why not IntelliJ IDEA? It's literally made for JVM languages.

@Ranchonyx I don't want an IDE by language. And I've seen it's not that weird, it kind of supports it. Plus the Kotlin CLI is pretty nice as far as I have seen.

Not sure if you can only use vscode… 📍 cause if it can be done I am very interested 😃

@piratefox https://gist.github.com/c3r38r170/... I'll be documenting everything here! I have something interesting so far, I think. At least runs lol

Refusing to use IntelliJ, isn't that like a carpenter refusing to use electrical tools ?

@ReverendLovejoy If I do everything by hand I'll be stronger, physically and mentally.
Plus have you seen all the space electrical tools take? Old manual tools where far more compact, they didn't need motors.

@c3r38r170 It's not always about space requirements or strength, sometimes it's just about efficiency & accuracy.

@c3r38r170 There’s a phrase that comes to mind: “Standing on the shoulders of giants”

There’s not much point in forcing yourself to do everything the hard way. Smart people figured out these problems and built sophisticated tools so that we could work faster/easier and solve even more complex problems.

If you are using a JVM language its a no-brainer to use an IDE designed for it with so many advanced refactoring tools and build tool integration, rather than a swiss army knife editor like VS Code which supports a little bit of everything in a minimal way.

@LLAMS I wanna save any future headache with today's headache.
But yeah, I won't doubt in using IntelliJ IDEA if it becomes insanely hard. I just wanted to see if there was a way, it'd be very comfortable for me.
