<p>Is learning <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Kotlin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Kotlin</span></a> worth it if I&#39;m not willing to dive into the whole IntelliJ thing? The &quot;How to build Kotlin with <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Gradle" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Gradle</span></a>&quot; guide is literally &quot;In IntelliJ, click new project and select Gradle&quot; which gives me bad vibes... 👀</p>
