Why build plugins for trivial tasks? @li_haoyi shows how #MillBuild lets you script builds in real code—no YAML, no plugins, no magic—plus 5x compile speed and IDE nav that actually works.

As you know, I'm not a big fan of using Discord for Mill support, but since it's an official Scala server, I am there nevertheless and try to answer and help when I can. Should I be required to verify my age, I will be no longer available on that platform!
Why does compiling Java feel slow when javac is blazing fast? Because #Maven & #Gradle add 4–20x overhead. @li_haoyi benchmarks the slowdown—then shows how #MillBuild cuts builds to 1/5 the time with zero plugins.

Today, we released Mill 1.0.0
It comes with a lot of new features and many many internal improvements. But we also changed a lot, so make sure to read the Changelog carefully.
https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/mill/blob/main/changelog.adoc
We aim to roll out more 0.12.x releases that support the transition to the newer APIs by providing more deprecation warnings.

As much as I love all the improvements that come with Mill 1.0.0-RC1, I think we really fucked up the migration experience.
I'm really sorry about that! If you are in trouble when migrating your build from an older Mill version, please reach out and I (we) try to help you.

@davesmith00000 Have you tried `mill init`? It's probably under-documented, but (beside supporting giter8 and migration of projects from sbt, mvn, ...) it can bootstrap a project from one of the plenty Mill examples.
Kudos to Alexandre Archambault for multiple pull requests in a row, better integration coursier into Mill, bringing proper BOM support and fixing some bugs on the way.
Stay tuned for the upcoming Mill 0.12.6 release.
In case you have issues with publishing to Maven Central with Mill since a couple of days, we just released 0.11.11 with a fix for that.
