Gradle [SEP] programming language
Gradle
Gradle is an open-source build automation system that builds upon the concepts of Apache Ant and Apache Maven and introduces a Groovy-based domain-specific language (DSL) instead of the XML form used by Apache Maven for declaring the project configuration. Gradle uses a directed acyclic graph ("DAG") to determine the order in which tasks can be run.
Gradle was designed for multi-project builds, which can grow to be quite large. It supports incremental builds by intelligently determining which parts of
in a general programming language. Then, the steps in a Gherkin program acts as a syntax for method invocation accessible to non-developers.

Advantages and disadvantages.
Some of the advantages:
- Domain-specific languages allow solutions to be expressed in the idiom and at the level of abstraction of the problem domain. The idea is that domain
