Dotty: a next generation compiler for Scala

Strongly agree. SBT really is puzzling and (IMO) overcomplicated. Someone is working on an experimental alternative called CBT which is pure Scala (as in: less DSL like syntax)

I'm bummed that CBT doesn't stand for "Complex Build Tool"

I'm not even sure why the acronym stands for simple build tool.

I think they refitted the acronym into "Scala Build Tool" a few years ago

What was the original meaning then ? sluggish bloat transducer ?

Hi there. I am that "someone". CBT is coming along very nicely. It is growing into a nice little community. We are working on getting the last bugs out and establishing the basic range of important plugins right now https://github.com/cvogt/cbt/

CBT is very developer friendly, fast, simple, easy to use. Join us on gitter https://gitter.im/cvogt/cbt or check out my Scala Days talk about it :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5COKEp7ItZk
