Very insightful report of a Scala 3 migration by Pierre Ricadat

#Scala #Scala3 #programming

@alexelcu If the #Kotlin ecosystem would be more open, other build tools could build it as well. For example, I'm trying to get incremental compilation support into Mill, but the API to do that is still private and only available to IntelliJ and Gradle.

Beside Kotlin Multiplatform, mixed #Java / #Kotlin / #Scala projects are a thing in Mill. In one project, we even have #AspectJ in the mix.

The #AspectJ compiler and ecosystem is one of the major base technologies behind the popular #Java Spring Framework. It has only one maintainer, Alexander Kriegisch, who is doing all the work alone and for free. This is not sustainable! Please step up!

A new version of Mill is out!

My favorite new feature in Mill 0.11.7, especially when working with large projects:

Type Filters on wildcard selectors.

Check out the full changelog, we have a lot of improvements:

#MillBuild #Scala #Java #Jvm #Kotlin #Aspectj #Buildtool

I wonder if every #Kotlin user is really happy with using #Gradle? It's currently the only option to get in the comfort of fast compilation. Outside of this vender-provided ecosystem, compiling #Koltin is really slow. Much slower than my #Scala toolchain.

Mill 0.11.2 is out!

https://mill-build.com/mill/Changelog.html#0-11-2

This version greatly improves build speed after build definition changes due a new fine-grained cache invalidation (change detection on method-level).

We also improved the editing experience and now properly support meta builds via BSP (Metals) and IntelliJ IDEA.
