Build automation tool using Groovy and Kotlin DSLs, written in Java.
Why you might care
Gradle is the standard build system for Android and large polyglot projects; it's faster than Maven due to incremental builds and task caching, and more flexible than Ant. Choose it if you're building JVM languages, Android apps, or need sophisticated dependency management with fine-grained task control.
