JBake migration to Kotlin, upgrades and

[Ondrej Žižka]

Hi,

for my purposes, I'd like to adjust JBake.

* I've upgraded the dependencies mostly to the latest.
* I've done a little refactoring.
* And I have migrated it to Kotlin.

Kotlin allowed me to refactor really quickly, and reduced the code base by around 25 %.
New versions fix the security and performance issues, and allow for newest templating features. (Backwards compatibility is lower on my values for this.)
And the refactoring was really necessary as navigating in what puts what into the central hashmap was really a pain.

Anyone wishing to join that trajectory?

I've done a little more refactoring and a couple of backend changes.
I am close to finishing the work on it and would like to release it.
JBake is too nice to let it die, so let's revive it.

The question now is: Shall it be the next version of JBake? In which case, I would need someone to review it, try it, build and push to Central, and publish a new version of the JBake.org.
Otherwise, I would go under another project identity.

Thanks,
Ondrej
