You don't use semicolons in Kotlin most of the time)) it's a simple and fun language. Once you go Kotlin, you can never go back to Java. Take your time to read through the docs to set up the ide and read this for a swift start: Kotlin in action.

The semicolon example was just a generic problem programmers encounter (won't say once or twice in they're lifetime, but something of the sort), was not talking about Kotlin specifically.

But like I said, the post wasn't meant to bash on Kotlin or Gradle, just to describe a couple of problems I had (yes, my fault) and I'm pretty sure I wasn't the first nor will be the last to face.

Thanks for the feedback!

Now that I think of it, maybe "where am I missing the curly brace?" would have been a better example, but I think it takes the point across anyway 🙂
