One language to build them all!
summary
Shows a working multi‑platform image generator called imaginate demo app with shared Kotlin domain code used from web, desktop and Android builds; build logic lives in buildSource and as included builds, convention plugins register tasks and static accessors, a worker action isolates the image generation classpath and generated images land in git to avoid repeated API calls. Demonstrates Gradle features like shared build services to limit concurrency and the configuration cache (Gradle 8.1) giving big speedups even on a 2500‑module Android example.
