Thought I'd give kotlin spring boot a shot. I assumed it would work out of the box like with java. It didn't. Apparently with jdk 17 I chose an incompatible version with the gradle version provided. Downgrade gradle. 'runApplication()' still marked with an error, which I cannot seem to solve. Answers from the internet are no solution.
But I can run the project ... but I cannot reach my dummy address, same with maven ... wtf, which part of rtfm did I miss? Wasn't kotlin supposed to be the better java?

    Kotlin is overengineered worse java
    Avoid touching anything related to jvm/gradle/maven if you wanna keep your sanity

    I find kotlin much more enjoyable to read than Java, but I agree Gradle is an absolute shit show.

    Your problem is the IDE and the build tools, not Kotlin. It IS better than Java in every single detail.
