Interoperation with Hilt - Ability to get rid of kapt in most modules

README clearly states that Anvil is not needed with Hilt, since Hilt already includes all Anvil’s features.

However, Anvil has one huge advantage over Hilt: It does not use kapt, which makes it much lighter on the build speed.

Would it be possible to have Anvil’s ContributesTo interop with Hilt’s InstallIn? Most modules in our project only use @Module and @Inject. If Anvil would support that, we could get rid of Hilt annotation processor in most modules and only rely on lighter Anvil.

There are no plans right now to improve interop. However, you might be able to use Anvil to some part. You could use Anvil’s ContributesTo and then use [@MergeModules](https://github.com/square/anvil/blob/main/annotations/src/main/java/com/squareup/anvil/annotations/compat/MergeModules.kt) and this module you InstallIn in Hilt’s graph. You can do the same with [@MergeInterfaces](https://github.com/square/anvil/blob/main/annotations/src/main/java/com/squareup/anvil/annotations/compat/MergeInterfaces.kt). I’ve never tested it myself, but it could work.

No, there’s no way except for you to create your own Kotlin compiler plugin and modify the source code (similar to what Anvil does in the compiler backend).
