ScalaTor+TJUG: Haoyi Li presents "Simpler Java build tools with OOP/Mill"

This is a joint event hosted by the Toronto Java User Group!

Join us for a cross-community meetup featuring Haoyi Li on Simpler Java build tools with Object Oriented Programming. We'll kick off with brief introductions from each group before diving into the main talk.

The Java language is known to be performant, easy to use, and with great IDE support, but Java build tools like Maven or Gradle do not always live up to that reputation. This talk will explore why build tooling is fundamentally such a difficult domain to work in, and how common concepts from object-oriented programming have the potential to simplify the build tool experience. We will end with a demonstration of an experimental new Java 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.
