Steven Devijver, Hans Dockter, Jochen Theoderou and myself discussed
where to take Gant. After some thought after that meeting Hans decided
he needed to start afresh without the constraints of the Gant code base
and general philosophy. The result is Gradle -- Hans (and I guess
Steven) have been hacking away now for a while.
So the question is whether Guilder and Gradle should slug it out in
traditional "survival of the fittest" style or whether it would be
better to collaborate and evolve a Maven/Buildr beater without the need
for blood on the floor?
Gant itself is of course evolving, though progress towards 2.0 is
significantly slower since Steven and Hans opted to not contribute to
Gant but to start Gradle instead :-(
