I’ve just got through a weekend of eat the frog-type tasks on Kweb, my Kotlin web framework.
About 70% of that time was spent wrestling with Gradle problems, most of which I had to fix through trial and error.
I’ve been using Rust on another project, and Cargo is so much better than Gradle that it’s really painful to go back.
I think Kotlin is the best programming language out there and I’m far more fluent in it than Rust, but Gradle is one of the first things many new Kotlin adopters are exposed to, and it reflects terribly on the rest of the ecosystem.
Interested in whether anyone else shares my concern.
