Interesting, I'd heard of buck and classified it as a blaze/bazel clone made by Xooglers who ended up at Facebook. But didn't realize buck2 was written in Rust.

One of the specific weaknesses I found with Bazel for embedded development was support for multiple toolchains was really not great. I'm sure it's improved, but I found the gn/ninja combination much better.
- kmarc 3y agoIt did improve. However, I'm procrastinating right now by reading HN instead of fixing our multi-compiler requirement toolchain setup for Bazel, and I am contemplating resigning from my job and IT altogether. I hate Bazel at this point.
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoI'm with you. If you find a good replacement for SW eng as a career, let me know.
