(October 2024) Working on my Mill build tool, a new JVM build tool that aims to provide a faster, easier alternative than the status quo tools of Gradle and Maven. I just gave my first conference talk about it, and response was positive. Hope others find it interesting as well! https://mill-build.org/mill/index.html

Have you look at BLD? Sits in the same space and has similar criticisms regarding Gradle and Maven.

I have! Mill is a lot more thorough, handling things like caching and parallelism for you. BLD is a lot more minimal, which would be fine for small projects but maybe not for larger projects as they grow
