Particularly in the case of Java, wouldn't a lot of people be tempted to try languages that can use Java libraries? Like Scala or Kotlin for example?

- nindalf 6y agoIt’s not just libraries though. All software needs to build when invoked with “buck build” and it’s dependencies need to be specified in buck’s configuration format. Scala’s build is different enough that it can’t piggyback off Java here. This requirement is a stumbling block for many languages. For example when compiling Rust, no one actually calls rustc directly, everyone uses cargo. Effectively this meant someone had to reimplement cargo within buck.
