I appreciate the amount of work that might have gone into this, but a small annoyance:

> Antlr4BuildTasks library couldn't automatically download Java.

It would be nice if more effort was put into avoiding large dependencies, like a java runtime for a .net product. Edit: It's not just the size of the dependency, it's the complexity this adds to the deployment and development.

It would be nice if more effort was put into avoiding large dependencies for slow languages, like Python. Edit: It's not just the size of the dependency, it's the complexity this adds to the deployment and development.

(these dependencies are for building the project, not for deploying it)
