I have the same impression of gradle. If I have to learn another language (groovy) and a whole new platform infrastructure and APIs just to understand what a build does, it's definitely not worth the effort. Most of my peers have the same views.
Fun fact: look up gradle in urban dictionary.
- zmmmmm 6y agoThis argument I don't really get. You're going to learn a "language" anyway - whatever build system you employ. It may or may not be Turing complete, but you're going to end up learning it once you get to any level of complexity in what you are doing. Why not have it be something with more general usefulness as well?
- santoshalper 6y agoI have something with more general usefulness. It's called Java. I don't need a programming language to build my programming language.
