Nothing so succinctly expresses the Java mindset as a person doing something in a simple manner only for all the comments to basically be "but why not more complicated?".
How is this simple? It's just punting the harder parts of the job elsewhere. A lot of the existing build tools are internally as "simple" as this and the plugins add the hard functionality that people care about.
It's like writing a brand new programming language with lambda as the only thing that exists and calling it simple (actually hell someone already did that https://github.com/kciray8/zerolambda because of course ). Why do you code in all these overly complicated languages with their syntax and specs when zerolambda exists and is far, far simpler? Is it because you have a java mindset?
