javalin.github.io VS ktfmt

The size statistics page is super cool: https://github.com/byronka/minum/blob/master/docs/size_compa...

Reasoning this way about software and dependencies more often seems like a good thing, just so we're aware of what we're actually getting into, especially with projects that use npm.

I actually hadn't heard of Javalin before, which also seems nice: https://javalin.io/

Aside from that, I've also had good experiences with Dropwizard - which is way simpler than Spring Boot but at the same time uses a bunch of idiomatic packages (like Jetty, Jersey, Jackson, Logback and so on): https://www.dropwizard.io/en/stable/

I do wonder whether Minum would ever end up on the TechEmpower benchmarks and how it'd stack up against the other libraries/frameworks there, those benchmarks are pretty interesting.

Counter-example: https://javalin.io/ uses Servlets, and seems to be doing quite fine without annotations.

Yes, and it was not that well designed to be honest... the successor is quite a lot nicer and it's called Javalin[1].

Same philosophy but just got things right where Spark, being the "first" (in the Java world, using the design inherited by Sinatra[2]) had a few design issues.

I strongly advocate frameworks like https://javalin.io/ and Jooq (https://www.jooq.org/) if you are going to start a new project in Java.

The script below will run ktfmt over a Kotlin codebase and fail the push if any of the files are not well-formatted. It does also use a custom Gradle plugin we built around ktfmt, which accepts a --run-over change set. This script will leave the fixed formatting changes in the tree, awaiting the developer to intervene, commit, and try again.

My team uses ktfmt. It is more aggressive and opinionated about formatting than ktlint, which we view as a good thing.

I can recommend ktfmt. It is based on the fast Google Java Formatter and produces deterministic formatting. Plugins for Maven, Gradle and IntelliJ are available.

The only sane formatting tool for Kotlin is ktfmt. https://github.com/facebook/ktfmt

Others have covered most of your questions, but since you asked about linters: if you want a highly opinionated formatter in the spirit of gofmt or google-java-format, you can check out ktfmt.

Facebook's ktfmt (https://github.com/facebookincubator/ktfmt) does that.
