Faster on what axis?
Go has maybe the fastest compile times, for example. Which is very important when you are iterating on a project.
What do you dislike about the tool chain? Seems better than most languages to me.
- kaba0 2y agoJava’s toolchain may leave some to be desired in ergonomics, but compile time is just as fast if not faster.
- DarkNova6 2y agoWhat do you see missing in the Java toolchain? Frankly, I see it as one of the most complete and deep of all languages.
- kaba0 2y agoOnly ergonomics, I do actually like most of it (maven central/repository model and gradle). It is one of two truly general build tools (other being Bazel), and being that generic/capable does mean that it can’t be as user friendly as a single-language build tool like Go’s or Rust’s. But these all break down the moment you introduce another language/build step/whatever, while Gradle can build the whole hodgepodge that is the Android platform just fine, which is quite a testament to its power.
