Laughed when I saw this Apache Groovy code slinking away at the bottom of the article:

> To start using Android KTX in your Android Kotlin projects, add the following to your app module's build.gradle file:

  repositories {
    google()
  }

  dependencies {
    // Android KTX for framework API
    implementation 'androidx.core:core-ktx:0.1'
    ...
  }

Yes - that's Gradle's language de jour right now, though there is a ton of effort being put into supporting Kotlin as an alternative scripting language for it. I think you could use it right now actually.
