Totally agree! But the title of the post says "Mill: A fast JVM build tool for Java and Scala" :) - it certainly looks like better tool for the Scala community.

For projects that are primarily building Java sources, it'd be nice to have a build system that uses Java code to describe the build. I don't think this exists at the moment.

One option is `bld`. They added IntelliJ support since I looked at it last, so that's nice.
