03/07/2016, 10:53 PMFWIW, I hated #SBT but then after using it for a while, appreciated at least what it was trying to do (that so many other crap tools had either punted on or minimized). After a decade and a half in Java, our choices were Ant and Maven and the Maven plugins for eclipse and even IJ were garbage. They finally fixed the eclipse one, but in so doing, also made it so that rerunning unit tests often triggered a full build, which was so moronic it made my head hurt. (No wonder so many people think TDD sucks…) @cedric is right though: the DSL was stupid beyond belief. Whitespace should not be part of your syntactic plan. I took that as a symptom of utter myopia. They all knew it did that. And never cared to gauge what the OOBE was.
