com.lihaoyi Scala: Executable Pseudocode that's Easy, Boring, and Fast
In Kotlin, I've been having a great time with kotlinx-cli. No macros involved or magic involved, and it's closer to the author's own ideals.

Guides for Kotlin scripting use case
(And some less good ones https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-cli, despite being official)

How can I make my class more reusable?
Not exactly sure what you're doing, but check out https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-cli which is an official multiplatform solution for parsing incoming options. If you can use it in your case, great! If not, you might at least be inspired by the API (and how extensive even a "simple" idea can get).

New Project: CLI to transform Excel spreadsheets to JSON (in Kotlin)
For CLI programs in Kotlin, I suggest taking a look at kotlinx-cli or, especially, Clikt, for idiomatic Kotlin code without annotations and such. Of course, after having already written the program, you're most likely not gonna switch that out, but I just wanted to inform you about that.

What about the official command line parser from jetbrains? https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-cli

Started Learning Kotlin 3 days ago, this is my first little project
Nice work! Welcome to Kotlin, it’s quickly becoming my favourite language. (Former PHP, current Java dev here). You should check out https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-cli if you want to take it to the next level.

Is Kotlin Native ready for CLI tools development ?
There is https://github.com/Kotlin/kotlinx-cli but you'll have to weigh this against quality and completeness of third party efforts as you've already discovered (in any case you'll probably need multiple libraries).

Have you tried either clikt or mosaic??

What’s your most used tech stack?
For most CLIs, Kotlin with https://ajalt.github.io/clikt/. Would consider Go if it's a small project where portability is important, but 90% still Kotlin
- I've created a small library for interactive CLI UI called 'kotlin-inquirer'

Building Command Line Interfaces with Kotlin using picoCLI
picoCLI is one of the many options available to you to create CLIs on the JVM. Other possibilities include Jakarta Commons CLI or Clikt if you're using Kotlin.

Tracking Twitter User Behavior - The Overview
To analyse the data, I again used Kotlin and combined 3 incredibly helpful tools: clikt, es-kotlin-client and plotly.kt. But more about that later.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing kotlinx-cli and clikt you can also consider the following projects:
picocli - Picocli is a modern framework for building powerful, user-friendly, GraalVM-enabled command line apps with ease. It supports colors, autocompletion, subcommands, and more. In 1 source file so apps can include as source & avoid adding a dependency. Written in Java, usable from Groovy, Kotlin, Scala, etc.
kotlin-argparser - Easy to use and concise yet powerful and robust command line argument parsing for Kotlin
cobra - A Commander for modern Go CLI interactions
