kapt is in maintenance mode

The warning in Kotlin docs may look a bit worrying, but that's not something we need to care about. This plugin is written for raw annotation processing API that is a part of Java specification - thanks to that we can process both, Java and Kotlin sources using the same implementation. Kapt is basically a tiny abstraction that makes Java's annotation processing possible on Kotlin sources and that's all we need - we're not really looking for Kotlin specific features here, so this approach works for us.

Speaking about KSP:

• #19

It could be supported as an alternative processor, purely for Kotlin, but we'd need to write some abstraction to avoid duplicating the same implementation in both tools. I was looking at it a while ago, but it was really unstable, and it'd be quite hard to reflect all current features there. The only real benefit that it'd give us is performance - KSP is simply faster, because it works directly on Kotlin sources. I'm gathering some experience in working with it in Sqiffy, so I'm kinda keeping track of this topic.
