@AdrianRaFo in my experience while it's nice writing the build files in Kotlin it's sometimes hard to integrate new stuff since most plugins offer examples and documentation around the groovy style scripts for gradle. In my opinion it's not worth the effort and we have many other areas where help would cause a bigger impact.

Also, if you use the -all version of Gradle Wrapper rather than the -bin version, AND you use IntelliJ, you’ll find the assistance level almost equivalent.

Personally, I don’t see the value in the Kotlin version. Everytime I’ve experimented with it, I’ve run away. I suspect part of it because I’m comfortable with Groovy, and the Gradle DSL.

The Groovy DSL is much more resilient when it comes to versions because it’s done dynamically.

With Kotlin, the versions of Gradle and a plugin become much more important.

I’ve also heard many opinions already about it not being such ready for a 1:1 switch, so I would probably expect some trouble
