Almost 4 years ago, I wrote a blogpost about why Gradle introduces a new metadata format to overcome limitations of the POM format.

https://blog.gradle.org/guava

As example, I explored the widely-used Google Guava library.

We also proposed to Guava to publish this metadata (which was a bit involved as they build with Maven+ShScripts).

Yesterday, my PR was merged! Sometimes persistence and patience pays off in the open source Java ecosystem.

#JS frameworks, fewer in number, ballooned into ecosystems, and sustain themselves by partially self-inflicted complexity
