Grandmaster: multi-modal heterogeneous build tool for Scala

An effort on building modern pure build system for Scala but not only.

We need a better toolchain for Scala. There are numerous complaints about developer experience and calls for change. At Septimal Mind we are working on Grandmaster, a heterogeneous multi-modal build tool which combines ideas and design elements of DIStage, Nix Package Manager and Gentoo Portage. In this talk we are going to discuss the ideas behind Grandmaster and collect feedback from the community.
