Heh, ah, interfacing with build systems, I do not miss it. That's a fine reason why I hate gradle and its ilk because for every person that does "version = readFile('version.txt')" some joker is going to "dependencies = run('sudo apt-get install -y my-awesome')"

This entire slide deck is triggering, and I have so much sympathy for them
