I know little about gradle and have only just started exploring it, so this is just a question out of curiosity.
It’s supposedly a language agnostic dependency manager and builder, yet it seems to have only found its niche in Java. C/C++ projects could definitely do with dependency resolution…
That’s a weird flex.
I’ve not used anything in 20 years that didn’t upgrade with a single command – in a cron file because it’s been so well-proved and has such a painless back out that you don’t fear the so-far-2-in-27-years cases where you need to use that backout.
“Upgrades are a single command” is so “I can tie my shoes” basic that I’m embarrassed for those who cannot.
