I feel you.
- amelius 2y agoFor someone who was just about to give Scala a try, what's wrong with it and are there alternative build tools?
- ATMLOTTOBEER 2y agoIt defines a DSL for your build that looks roughly like Scala code. But… it’s not! And there is a confusing “resolution” system for build tasks/settings. It’s also slow as shit. See https://www.lihaoyi.com/post/SowhatswrongwithSBT.html https://www.lihaoyi.com/post/SowhatswrongwithSBT.html for a comprehensive takedown. If you’re interested in just playing around with scala I would use https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org https://scala-cli.virtuslab.org Or for larger projects, the thing the author of the linked article is plugging (mill).
- paulddraper 2y agoI've use sbt and don't have a problem. But Mill is very good. [1] [1] https://mill-build.org/mill/index.html https://mill-build.org/mill/index.html
