This is exactly right. Why should my build tool require more study than the language I’m working in? Why do I need to learn a wholly language to build? In the same vein, why should the ORM be more complex than the database? Why should the application server be orders of magnitude more complex than my code? I mean - I do understand the reasons as given - I just don’t agree that the solutions are worth the sacrifices. I should not need a two week course to be good at some ancillary tool. This morning I started thinking about this thread and what I use today. I don’t even notice the build and dependency system in Go. It’s just there, and it works. Easy things are easy, hard things are possible, and performance is important.
