Declarative Gradle is a cool thing I am afraid of: Maven strikes back
NOTE: I won’t mention SBT and Leiningen here because, with all due respect, they are niche build tools. I also won’t discuss Kobalt for the same reason (besides, it’s no longer actively maintained). Additionally, I won’t touch upon Bazel and Buck in this context, mainly because I’m not very familiar with them. If you have insights or comments about these tools, please feel free to share them in the comments 👇

Øyvind Berg and John De Goes discuss Bleep, the new config-as-data build tool
Sbt has the primitives that would allow that, but this would change the semantics of the test task. See also testQuick and https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/6292

Scala Center Roadmap for 2023 and Beyond
If I use IntelliJ then apparently sbtn is not supported and they don't bother with Scala-CLI or Coursier.

Make your zip packages for lambdas (and many more use cases) idempotent with a zip-drop-in replacement

How do i stop git bash from showing the time taken for each command
BTW, if you're curious, it appears OP is using this: https://github.com/sbt/sbt/releases/tag/v1.6.2 Pretty sure one of the executables is doing ANSI colours.
-
simplifying sbt with common settings
If you see the progression of documentation changes over the years pushing people towards multi-project style, and issues like https://github.com/sbt/sbt/issues/6217, hopefully you'd see that I've really tried to encourage people to use multi-project style from the get go.

sbt 1.5.7 released
Fyi in case anyone is curious, sbt is fully removing log4j going forward: https://github.com/sbt/sbt/pull/6726

Build faster with Buck2: Our open source build system
There are a few references to NixOS on the code/issues.[0] I wonder what Meta's use case is for NixOS.
