Gradle Is Javamaxxing(blog.gradle.org) |
I have an unreasonable hatred of gradle and its imperative, choose-your-own-language build files, every buildfile being structured differently.
Hateful.
Not even talking about how slow it is, no I don't want the garbage demon running somewhere.
I don't suffer from XML allergy, and Gradle is Ant all over again.
Worse, because it relies on a slow scripting language, or having to go through Kotlin, plus a background deamon.
I actually don't mind Ant very much, but I haven't had good luck using Ivy for dependency management. Maven's been very nice in the decade and a half I've used it, Gradle's always felt off to me. I think there was also another Java build tool written in like Ruby or something, but I'm blanking on the name at the moment.
