Gradle might be fine compared to other Java build tools, but when stepping outside the Java world it feels like a leftover from the 90's... and that's the same for pretty much anything else related to Android development, which is curious because Android didn't even exist yet in the 90's ;)
- kaba0 3y agoWhich build tool is better? The language-specific ones are pretty much useless for a more involved build that is cross-platform, let alone uses multiple languages. Gradle is generic, which does increase its surface area, but there is not many alternatives that are also fast and correct: there is bazel, and a new thing I very like: mill. But not much else is there.
