Implemented as a Gradle plugin, Amper uses YAML files (module.yaml) instead of Groovy/Kotlin DSL to declare project settings declaratively. It integrates with IntelliJ IDEA 2023.3+ and Fleet 1.26+, flattens the source directory structure, and supports Gradle interop so existing build.gradle.kts files can coexist. Current limitations include no support for third-party plugin configuration and a limited API surface for complex setups. Touchlab recommends trying it on smaller projects while it remains experimental. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
