Useless is a bit harsh, but judging by Bazel's uptake, that's the "market's" take on Bazel.

- melted 11y agoWhat did you expect, it's only been a few months. There's tremendous inertia when it comes to build systems, people don't change them on a whim.
- serge2k 11y agoWith the fancy distributed bits what's the win I get using Bazel? Maybe it's simpler, but if I already know another system then why switch?
- melted 11y agoSimple, repeatable builds, almost no learning curve. I do agree that this is a vastly less potent value proposition than "build your C++ in minutes instead of hours", but it's a start. I think Google will offer the distributed cloud piece for this at some point. They'd be stupid not to.
- nl 11y agoIt takes years for a new build format to be widely used. There are many more important thing holding up wider adoption before the lack of distributed support becomes a issue: Windows support, how hard it is to get working on ARM, etc etc. TensorFlow is it's own thing.
