Most of my stack overflow points are from helping people run their build in Eclipse :) Gradle is deprecated now though. And Jetpack Compose is about as convenient as Flutter.

Gradle replaced Maven which replaced ant which replaced make. The tech treadmill was one of the reasons I retired early and I'm glad I did. What is the new hotness replacing Gradle?

  Kotlin DSL https://developer.android.com/build/migrate-to-kotlin-dsl https://developer.android.com/build/migrate-to-kotlin-dsl This one makes sense, though the improvement is minor.

    That's still Gradle. Just a different language to configure it.

      Eh, thanks for the correction. I originally read it as Groovy. Unfortunately, I can't edit or delete my original comment, but feel free to downvote it.

      Yep. And I still use Makefiles to this day.

  Gradle replacing maven seems like a stretch. Maybe on Android. But everywhere else Maven is still going strong.

    I'd like to know where that is because I've watched as a lot of major 3rd-party Java libraries switch to Gradle from Maven.

    This is an Android thread. In this context, Gradle has most definitely replaced Maven.

      I don't think that's the context when they referred to ant and make.
