Well, with `.kts` you cannot use the `.main.kts` specific things like `@file:DependsOn` and so on.

[Eugen Martynov]

Aha, oke, I thought it was possible

[Eugen Martynov]

Maybe IDE was slow to react on it

[mbonnin]

.kts requires 3rd party tools like kscript . *.main.kts will get you first party support in both the kotlin CLI and IntelliJ

[mbonnin]

Not sure what IntelliJ does with *.main.kts but this feels more future proof

[Eugen Martynov]

Thanks! It was not my experience but I have to validate it :)

[mbonnin]

Things might be in flux (like IntelliJ trying to add stuff to the classpath for regular .kts files) but at the end of the day, .kts is not enough to distinguish between something like foo.gradle.kts and just foo.kts

[mbonnin]

main.kts is explicit that it's to be run by kotlin and not something else

[Eugen Martynov]

Aha! Could be. I found IDE is slow in response sometimes and I am fast to make conclusions :)
