I use bazel at work and it does make cross language work very easy. I mostly write C++ so it's one of the few good options out there. But I've also used CMAKE with vcpkg for personal projects and found that to be a really good option. Vcpkg is really the best package manager for C++ right now and seems to work seamlessly on Windows, too. Hopefully bazel's bzlmod can take off and get as many libraries as vcpkg.
