I have dealt with it as part of packaging and adapting tensorflow. Some of my opinions: * Bazel needs gigabytes of memory to run; * It needs minutes to bootstrap (which it will every time, because you don’t want a multi-gigabyte-sized daemon running around); * It breaks every second day. If you are building version X of $something, you better go and get the exact version of Bazel that the developers of $something were using when tagging X; * And when they fail to build there’s no chance you will be able to figure it out without spending days on it. Don’t use Bazel unless writing code that only you yourself can maintain is your goal.
