Very exciting! Thanks for your status updates on this. Do you want more
visibility for them? I think more people would see these if they were posted to
a blog or Mastodon. It is easy to set up a simple Markdown/Jekyll blog on
Salsa. Or you could post to this one:

Good evening,
As I'm writing this, my current gradle 8 build is down to 2 (new) compilation
errors in kotlin-dsl (from over 60 last week).

I'm already done with a few modules and I'm currently on the most touchy one,
kotlin-dsl.
This kept me busy for a while, as it required a fair amount of git archaeology
to track the tormented history of some Kotlin stdlib features that had then to
be either dropped, renamed, copy-pasted or reimplemented in Gradle source code.
A few more features had to be backported into our Frankenkotlin, and I also had
to rework the build of its backported assign-plugin to get jars that look like
they could be usable.
I will probably be done with that Gradle module soon, and I think most other
modules written in Kotlin are already patched so I expect to be able to test if
that gradle will rebuild itself by next week, and then either debug it (probable
outcome) or, if I'm really lucky, resume the packaging work. Watch my
repositories on salsa for updates!
Cheers,
