For personal java/kotlin projects I just use IntelliJ for building. Things are much simpler and it is easy to do most things.
My biggest problem with gradle on personal macs is that memory hog daemon that is mostly unavoidable. Just to run a build once in a while I don't want to run a daemon. Yes daemon can be turned off but it is prevalent in the ecosystem and IntelliJ gradle integ doesn't work without it.
Gradle makes me appreciate how good both cargo is.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoYeah I get where you're coming from. The daemon is pretty sweet in reducing build times, but I wish there was some easy way of informing it of your intent. If you're just a casual drive-by person compiling some code, then spawning a gradle daemon is just silly. If you're actively developing on a codebase, not having a gradle daemon will waste a lot of time waiting on builds that could be instant.
