12/29/2022, 11:14 PMi think kotlin gradle dsl used to be an option in one of the earlier canaries (like 6 months ago) but then they removed it because they said kts file autocompletion wasn't good enough but once it gets better they will give that option back.

01/03/2023, 5:23 AM@Colton Idle I've had no issues at all with the code completion using the kotlin dsl. Now i will admit that sometimes the documentation is lacking in how to do certain things that were pretty easy in groovy. I will agree that it can be a bit laggy, but i'd rather use kts since i can at least get (mostly) real time feedback on whether my gradle file compiles or not.
