Not familiar with bazel. Can you expand a bit?

  There are a few things which are either enforced directly by Bazel (i.e., Bazel takes an opinion on how build systems should work and gives an error if you try to make it work otherwise). There are also a few assumptions which are now harmless, because Bazel will either check that your assumptions are correct, or make the build work as if those assumptions hold. For example, "Build graphs are acyclic." Bazel enforces this. "Every build step updates at least one file." If your build step doesn't produce output, Bazel will complain. "It's possible to tell the compiler which file to write its output to." "It's possible to tell the compiler which directory to write its output to." Bazel does this with sandboxes.
