Kotlin & Wear OS
summary
Kotlin DSL reduces the boilerplate for a Wear OS watch face from 600 lines to 15 by replacing manual painting and ambient-mode plumbing with a declarative nested-lambda DSL that is type-checked and gives IDE hints. The heavy lifting remains in an interpreter/helper class, but the DSL produces a working analog watch face (hands, colors, background) and ships. A 15-minute codelab and source show the exact Kotlin constructs and how the DSL maps to runtime rendering.
