Mill: A React-Inspired Build Tool Revolution

2025-05-13

Mill is a unique build tool that adopts core design decisions from React.js: direct-style builds and a single general-purpose language. Unlike traditional build tools relying on callbacks and multiple languages, Mill lets developers write functions that directly return the final build artifacts, with Mill automatically handling caching, parallelization, and optimization. This approach simplifies the build process, improves readability and maintainability, and enhances IDE integration.
