Hello!

I'm quite new to open source, but am very eager to learn and would love to contribute to the Groovy to Kotlin Gradle DSL Converter. I have used Kotlin for building production-grade backends so I'm quite familiar with the language and enjoy using it. I have quite an interest in parsers and compilers so I think this project would be a great opportunity for me to learn and apply this knowledge to solve a real-world problem. Like many others, I too have experienced wanting to use a Groovy DSL snippet of code in my build.gradle.kts only to have to figure out the syntax differences in order to get it to work.

Since there is quite an interest in the Groovy to Kotlin Gradle DSL Converter project, I would also be happy to contribute to one of the following projects: Kotlin Compiler error messages; Kotlin Multiplatform libraries; kotlinx-benchmark library API; Parallel stacks for Kotlin Coroutines in the debugger; support for parameter forwarding in the Kotlin Plugin;
