From mobile apps to microservices, from small startups to big enterprises, Gradle helps teams build, automate and deliver better software, faster.

not relevant. they're only enabled with the compiler option `-Xcontext-receivers` and aren't ABI stable yet

I can't use them to build Gradle plugins right now because Gradle is not using 1.6.21

and you can't use them to build Gradle plugins after Gradle uses Kotlin 1.6.21 either, is what I mean

When Gradle starts to use 1.6.21, I can use them and they should work same if I was in a normal project?

Okay, looks like Gradle 7.5 should use Kotlin 1.6.21 but RC is already published and it is still using 1.6.10 I think

So maybe it has been delayed to 7.6 or 8.0?

I don't know, but even with 1.6.21 it won't be usable

Why? There are use cases where they works without issues

&gt; Please note that the implementation is a prototype: 
&gt; • With `-Xcontext-receivers` enabled, the compiler will produce pre-release binaries that cannot be used in production code. 

if you build a Gradle plugin with context receivers, it *will not work* anywhere else
