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.
