Kotlin DSL

This one makes sense, though the improvement is minor.

That's still Gradle. Just a different language to configure it.

Yep. And I still use Makefiles to this day.

Eh, thanks for the correction. I originally read it as Groovy. Unfortunately, I can't edit or delete my original comment, but feel free to downvote it.

Gradle replacing maven seems like a stretch. Maybe on Android. But everywhere else Maven is still going strong.

I'd like to know where that is because I've watched as a lot of major 3rd-party Java libraries switch to Gradle from Maven.

This is an Android thread. In this context, Gradle has most definitely replaced Maven.

I don't think that's the context when they referred to ant and make.
