Why should I use this plugin instead of programming directly in Kotlin in a regular Vert.x java project?

I am interested by Kotlin & Vert.x and I found this project. It is written on the description that it provides a better programming experience. What does it change from regular Kotlin/Vert.x via Java compatibility?

At first you can look at examples (https://github.com/cy6erGn0m/vertx3-lang-kotlin/tree/master/src/examples/kotlin) that were rewritten from the original repo. However I suspect that the question need to be answered more detailed.

it would be great to have a more official support for Kotlin in Vert.x using the code generation.

I'm particularly thinking into the upcoming coroutine support for Kotlin (I've implemented an integration prototype here https://github.com/vietj/kotlin-coroutines).

@cy6erGn0m are you interested in such effort ?

[cy6erGn0m]

@vietj Yes, we are. Looks interesting
