We have lots of infrastructure depending on mx. Infrastructure that no other build tool provides as far as I can tell.

In the end every build tool sucks. Sometimes you just need to be pragmatic. Mx integrates with maven pretty well and it generates ide config for intellij, eclipse and netbeans. Moving to a different system is probably not worth the cost atm. And it's not complicated to use at all. E.g mx build builds and mx gate builds and tests. Mx unittest runs unit tests.

As written below. Graal.Python is not yet open source. But you will hear from us soon.

Any story behind why it's not open-source ? I mean Ruby, Js, R seem to have been for a long time.

Any splashy announcements expected?

p.s. sorry to be pushy. I have a long standing python-and-reactjs-on-java-in-2018 bet !

They tend to work in private then open source later.
