The canonicalization does happen with Gradle like with Rust, only at a higher (JVM) level. If you work somewhere that has Java, Groovy, Scala and Clojure projects being able to canonically clone any of them and build them with ./gradlew clean build is amazing. That forces your org to completely adopt Gradle but that’s not terribly difficult for a technically minded leader to enforce. Of course, that only applies in certain circumstances, and as you imply using the right tool for the job is the most important thing.
