Mill Build
Mill Build is a build tool for the Scala programming language, designed to provide a simple, modular, and fast build system. It uses a pure functional approach where builds are defined as Scala objects, allowing for easy composition and reuse of build logic. It supports incremental compilation, parallel execution, and integration with common Scala tools like sbt and Maven.
Developers should learn Mill Build when working on Scala projects that require a more efficient and maintainable build process compared to traditional tools like sbt. It is particularly useful for large-scale Scala applications where build performance and modularity are critical, such as in data processing pipelines or microservices architectures. Its functional design makes it easier to debug and extend build configurations.
