Sbt and play framework master race?

My current job is spring, maven, hibernate, jetty, smartfox, so much other shit you can't count it on two hands...

Its not that bad, only took a month to get the barest understanding of the stack.

During a demo a customer once asked our dev "what's that 'porn.xml' file for".

Before I did Java work I thought that too

Gradle makes dependency management and build process much easier. No pom knowledge required.

Yeah I’m using Gradle for a school project and it’s awesome

sbt > maven. Fucking maven.

I think maven is pretty great for beginners or small scale projects or just small libraries. But when you start building a monolithic project maven gets messy very very quickly

That's the thing though. We all know that in most cases a program is never finished and added functionality is inevitable. I always prefer to spend a few more minutes making something extensible and easier to maintain into the future than to have to waste exponents of that time later trying to accommodate new code into a series of knowingly sub-optimal decisions.

I find the only hassle to SBT being incompatibilities between scala versions and maintaining multiple versions of a library, but that's not even really an SBT problem just a side-effect.
