kscript - Scripting Enhancements for Kotlin
summary
kscript is a small utility that upgrades Kotlin scripting into a practical shell/scripting tool by adding features to kotlinc: compiled-script caching with md5 change tracking, Gradle-style dependency declarations resolved via Maven, multiple input modes (URLs, stdin, files, direct args, or shebang interpreter), and a companion support library for common tasks (argument parsing, streaming, IO utilities, iterators). It aims to let developers write self-contained, low-overhead Kotlin mini-applications with CI-tested stability, documentation, and a growing community.
