So, roughly 18 months later, it seems that projects are not exactly flocking on hordes to kotlinscript-based gradle builds: allinurl: build.gradle -kotlin-dsl -JetBrains-kotlin site:github.com 37,300 allinurl: build.gradle.kts -kotlin-dsl -JetBrains-kotlin site:github.com 175
And if I tried to remove all projects that are directly kotlin related, that number would be even lower. So it seems both migrating from Groovy to Kotlin as well as starting new gradle projects with kotlin instead of groovy is not very popular for projects hosted on github so far, unless my google search query is flawed.
