Mill Build Tool

Mill is an open-source build automation tool specifically designed for the Scala and Java ecosystems. It was created to provide a faster and more intuitive alternative to older build tools like sbt, focusing on a clear, functional build definition style that leverages the Scala programming language itself.

As an open-source project, its code is developed and maintained by a global community of contributors rather than being manufactured in a single physical location. The project is primarily hosted on GitHub and is a cornerstone of the modern Scala developer's toolkit, often associated with Li Haoyi, its original creator and a prominent figure in the Scala community. Ownership is distributed among its maintainers under an open-source license, ensuring it remains a public utility for developers worldwide.
