The document discusses the Gradle build tool, initiated by Hans Dockter in April 2008, which uses a Groovy DSL for configuration. It emphasizes Gradle's principles of convention over configuration and its capabilities for fast feedback and test-driven development. Key references and resources related to Gradle are also provided.
