Gradle's syntax is too hard to understand for a beginner. If you write 'something', you cannot say if that's a method, field, property, task, closure or whatever. And nobody writes a well explained tutorial for that.
Either Gradle should make the syntax understandable, or adopt some other JS-based build tools or Buck.
- vorg 11y agoThat's actually Groovy that Gradle uses for its syntax. And it would be nice if Gradle allowed other scripting languages to be plugged, e.g. Clojure, JRuby, Jython, or Nashorn.
