One thing you might be missing is that this is Buck2.
Buck (https://github.com/facebook/buck https://github.com/facebook/buck) has been open sourced for nearly 10 years now.
The lore I've heard is that former Googlers went to Facebook, built Buck based on Blaze, and Facebook open sourced that before Google open sourced Blaze (as Bazel).
The first pull to the Buck github repo was on May 8, 2013 (https://github.com/facebook/buck/pulls?q=is%3Apr+sort%3Acreated-asc+ https://github.com/facebook/buck/pulls?q=is%3Apr+sort%3Acrea...). The first to Bazel was Sep 30, 2014 (https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pulls?q=is%3Apr+sort%3Acreated-asc+ https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/pulls?q=is%3Apr+sort%3Ac...).

- bradfitz 4y agoI was visiting the Google Munich office on the day Google open sourced Blaze/Bazel. The Facebook Buck team sent a congratulations cake: https://photos.app.goo.gl/6KwE6qeD3i72kSo38 https://photos.app.goo.gl/6KwE6qeD3i72kSo38 Amusingly, the cake was in German but most of the Bazel team didn't really speak German. But it was yummy.
