multi-language development. If you are building, testing, publishing, and deploying software on any platform, Gradle offers a flexible model that can support the entire development lifecycle from compiling and packaging code to publishing websites. Gradle has been designed to support build automation across multiple languages and platforms, including Java, Scala, Android, Kotlin, C/C++, and Groovy, and is closely integrated with development tools and continuous integration servers, including Eclipse, IntelliJ,...

This has also forced plugins written in languages other than Groovy to use Groovy types for some APIs.

When the Kotlin DSL was introduced, we made an effort to add non-Groovy equivalents for all APIs.
This has been mostly done, but there remain a few holdouts (fixing these is out of scope).

To keep the Groovy DSL ergonomic, we generate methods as necessary from the non-Groovy equivalents.

                "Method com.example.Task.isFailOnError(): Is not binary compatible. Reason for accepting this: Upgraded property" to listOf("Method has been removed"),
                "Method com.example.Task.setFailOnError(boolean): Is not binary compatible. Reason for accepting this: Upgraded property" to listOf("Method has been removed")
