No, I've added custom compilers and languages to Bazel, and it was not nearly 'tens of thousands of line'. Sure, it's complex, but such is life with inversion of control. It's difficult to get around this complexity if you want to follow the design goals of Bazel. > gRPC, k8s: see TFA The article says nothing about why gRPC or k8s are bad. It just uses very emotional language to handwave into the general direction of 'bloat' and 'too complex'.
