Mixing Kotlin and Java in a single module of a multi-module Maven or Gradle project

#kotlin #discuss #java

Hi,

does anyone have a multi module Maven or Gradle project in production? Basically I'm considering moving SirixDB to Kotlin and to write new classes in Kotlin.

However, I'm not sure. I've used Java from Kotlin but not the other way around. So, would you recommend adding Kotlin to the core module for instance or are there any pitfalls? I think Kotlin is just like a modern Java and I'm a bit resistent to write Java code in my spare time, now that I worked a bit with Kotlin ;-)

Kind regards
Johannes

Great read:

Is it Time to go Back to the Monolith?

History repeats itself. Everything old is new again and I’ve been around long enough to see ideas discarded, rediscovered and return triumphantly to overtake the fad. In recent years SQL has made a tremendous comeback from the dead. We love relational databases all over again. I think the Monolith will have its space odyssey moment again. Microservices and serverless are trends pushed by the cloud vendors, designed to sell us more cloud computing resources.

Microservices make very little sense financially for most use cases. Yes, they can ramp down. But when they scale up, they pay the costs in dividends. The increased observability costs alone line the pockets of the “big cloud” vendors.
