It is a newer feature, so that might be why you're unaware of it.
Also, I get that the models of Bazel/Buck/Pants are fundamentally different, because they are inherently cross-language / "sit on top of other compilers" systems. And are best for mono repos.
But Mill doesn't fit in that camp AFAICT.
- lomnakkus 8y agoAh, right I wasn't aware of that. Still, AFAICT Gradle isn't nearly as 'ambitious' in tackling the hard problem of hermetic/reproducible builds as e.g. Bazel, so who knows how reliable that build cache actually is. You may well be right about Mill, but it's probably too early to tell exactly where it'll land in the design space. (Btw, I think it's entirely right to be wary of yet-another-build-system, especially when it doesn't seem to do anything that other systems don't already do.)
