On: Dotty: a next generation compiler for Scala

[lmm]

A build definition format that allows arbitrary code anywhere is always going to have less-good IDE support than one based on declarative documents.

[kmiroslav → lmm]

I don't see why, as long as the IDE sees the build file as a genuine source file for the language it's written in.

The IDE would need to run it to understand the build definition, which then gets into halting-problem issues.
