I wish I knew about this earlier! It's interesting that this project doesn't have a much higher visibility. Also wondering, what's the current relationship of this project with Google? (if you are involved with it)

It does, it's just that it... doesn't work well in practice. It's another case of "this works well for Google but doesn't translate well outside of Google". Plus, seems like Bazel is a very neutered version of Blaze anyway.

  buildfarm takes away a lot of the neutering.

    Not sure what to say concerning buildfarm's remote execution. Reading an issue I've opened almost 2y ago [1], seems the backend requires the client to have a specific gcc version. That's a strong limitation imho. [1] https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-buildfarm/issues/545 https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-buildfarm/issues/545

      This is related to non-hermetic build graph, so the builds have system-provided dependency in GCC, and to make the build sane requires that they are in sync.

      Never run into this issue in the real world so.... /shrug
