Hence the “if people use it” qualifier.
Companies relying on Bazel would step in and support it. We’ve seen this play out plenty of times before, e.g. Hudson to Jenkins or OpenOffice to LibreOffice, where a popular OSS product loses a corporate sponsor and continues.
- dgellow 7y agoYou’re ignoring all those times where that didn’t actually happen. It seems quite risky for an organization to rely on the idea “you can just fork and continue the development yourself in case of issues”. That’s not what happens in practice, taking over the development of something like bazel has a non-negligeable cost. Now for sure you can find some (cherry-picked IMHO) success stories but that’s the exception as far as I can tell.
