It's not like the kotlin DSL comes without problems. Configuration time is most of the time about doubled compared to Groovy, type hinting and completion often end up being slower _and_ worse than Groovy, and if you're lucky, your IDE suddenly can't find a random extension in your classpath and your entire build.gradle.kts or plugin becomes a red, squiggly mess.

Unfortunately, Gradle is the best build tool I've used for complex systems. And it still fucking sucks.

You hit the nail on its head. Deprecate Groovy and allocate all resources to make Kotlin more viable.
