This is great that we have many options. However, as I am reviewing the various build tools I can't find that suits my needs. Pretty much a lot of the build tools, such as bazel, nix, take over the native language dependency management and build operations. What I would like is a simple build dependency tool, similar to what Amazon has for their build tool called (brazil) that can manage pulling packages locally to build. Here is what I would like to achieve in own projects: 1. Work on a NodeJS project A that can locally install NPM packages based on packages.json. 2. Have another Python or Go project that build depends on project B. 3. The build tool allows the dependencies pulled either from artifact repository or use checked out version locally. This build system focuses on the WHAT to build vs HOW to build, which will be driven by project's own build tool, e.g. ant, npm, maven, etc. I am considering creating my own simple build tool which is inspired by the Amazon's own tooling. BTW, does not anyone know if I am allowed to develop my own tooling inspired on company's internal tooling? Obviously it won't be exactly the same but taken with lots of inspirational values. Here is more details on the Amazon's build tool: https://gist.github.com/terabyte/15a2d3d407285b8b5a0a7964dd6283b0 https://gist.github.com/terabyte/15a2d3d407285b8b5a0a7964dd6...
