  If you work with any JVM-based language, such as Java, Kotlin, Scala, Groovy, Clojure etc., you will most likely have come across build and dependency management tools such as Ant / Ivy, Maven, sbt, Leinengen or Gradle. - Source: dev.to / 25 days ago

• Advanced React Course on Maven

• Intro to Java Question

  For large projects, purpose-made build tools such as Gradle and Maven are preferred for managing the directory structure since they introduce additional semantics for managing test code and other programming languages (among lots of other things). Most IDEs can integrate with these build tools easily. If you're just starting out though, I wouldn't worry too much about these, you can visit them later. Source: 5 months ago

• Quarkus 3.4 - Container-first Java Stack: Install with OpenJDK 21 and Create REST API

• TypeScript's Successor is Waiting, and You'll Never Want to Turn Back

  Under the hood, Rescript uses a build system called Ninja. Ninja is similar to Make, but cross-platform and more minimal/performant. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• Using Make – writing less Makefile

  Ninja was super easy to pick up even after using make for some time (10+ years). GN is just a ninja generator that is optional. https://gn.googlesource.com/gn/+/main/docs/quick_start.md https://ninja-build.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: What outdated tech are you still using and are perfectly happy with?

  Really? I thought most new projects were switching to ninja[^1] and have never used it. [^1]: https://ninja-build.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• What was used to build C++ programs before Cmake?

  Ninja showed real promise for a while, but then CMake grew up and people stopped seeing a reason to leave it behind. Source: 10 months ago

• Building and Running Pidgin and Finch 3

  Now that you have your build system all generated you can go ahead and build everything. By default Meson will use Ninja as the build tool. Ninja is similar to Make but much much faster. You can also generate additional build systems but that's outside of the scope of this post. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
