I'm +1 on switching from Groovy to Kotlin in our **Gradle build files**. Gradle has excellent support for it, as does IntelliJ, and I'm rather fond of Kotlin, having used it once. I look forward to editing these files with better IDE assisted type awareness and less magic/voodoo.
But I'm unsure about the broader scope you speak of.
