You will probably have more luck asking in #gradle channel

I know I’ve seen articles on this before, but can’t seem to find them now. The general conclusion is that a clean run is a fair bit slower due to the additional code generation and compilation required for Kotlin scripts (which gets cached), but subsequent runs are comparable in performance.

[Casey Brooks]

Personally, I’ve been using the Kotlin DSL for over a year now, and don’t notice the performance impact in day-to-day development, and the type-safety and introspection far outweight the performance hit IMO

That is, it is advisable to transfer all projects to kts?

[Loboda Deni]

Do you can somehow transfer build scripts from buildSrc between projects?

[Casey Brooks]

I always use kts for new projects, that’s an easy decision. It’s quite a bit more difficult to migrate existing projects to using it, especially if you’re using shared scripts (apply from: 'common.gradle') or configuration injection (subprojects { apply plugin: 'java')

[Casey Brooks]

Precompiled script plugins are the way I like to set up shared configurations among subprojects from buildSrc https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/custom_plugins.html#sec:precompiled_plugins
