About kscript
Kotlin has some built-in scripting support, but kscript aims to make writing and running small Kotlin scripts more convenient. It lets you run Kotlin code as scripts from the terminal on Unix-like systems and on Windows, filling in features the standard Kotlin scripting setup lacks.
It suits developers who already use Kotlin and want to use it for shell-style scripts and quick utilities instead of switching to Bash or Python.
