> a better build system is sorely needed - one of the things that Go / Rust did right

Honestly there are only two reasons I wouldn't pick up Java for personal projects, difficult to build single executable (Graal is still very un-ergonomic), ridiculous build systems.

I can kind of live with former, but Gradle is so very extraordinarily terrible that I don't know where to begin. Problem is, it solves some real problems (in extremely bad way) that people keep using it.

I long of a cargo-style revolution in Java world. (No, the newly popped up alternatives haven't really cut it so far)
