Untapped Potential in the Java Build Tool Experience
The Java language is known to be fast, safe, and easy, but Java build tools like Maven or Gradle sometimes don't quite live up to that standard. This talk will explore what "could be": where current Java build tools fall behind modern build tools in other communities, in performance, extensibility, and ease of getting started. We will end with a demonstration of an experimental build tool "Mill" that makes use of these ideas, proving out the idea that Java build tooling has the potential to be much faster, safer, and easier than it is today.
