Mill is a Scala build tool that improves upon every aspect of the venerable SBT toolchain: more performant, easier to understand, better IDE support, and scalable to larger codebases. Unlike most build tools, Mill makes build configuration easy: easier to write, easier to navigate, and easier to understand. This talk will explore how Mill works, demonstrate its advantages over SBT in a live-coding setting, and dive into the novel techniques that a modern build tool uses to improve upon older build tools of years and decades past.
