Bazel.

  If only it wasn't Java. It's ridiculous that a relatively simple build tool requires such a monstrous dependency for no reason.

    Bazel? Simple? Hmm… Also fyi - bazel ships as single binary with 0 dependencies

    At least is faster than Python based build systems.
    • xvilka 3y ago
      Can't argue with that.

    I was expecting its Java based nature to be a problem but in practise found bazelisk to be remarkably self contained and fast. Bazel has issues but Java isn't one of them.

    1. I don’t think anyone who know enough about Bazel to describe it as simple. 2. Why do you dislike Java? Most of FAANGMULA uses it in some capacity no?
    • xvilka 3y ago
      1. Not Bazel itself is simple, the concept of build systems is simple enough to be implemented in native and more portable languages. 2. I was unfortunate to write some Java in the past. Strong dislike of it since. Nowadays I prefer natively compiled languages.
