- moochmooch 8mo agoso use Bazel or buck2 if you need an iteration on make's handling of changed files. Bazel is much more serious of a project than buildkit. I'm not saying make is more functional that buildkit (it might be to some), I'm saying its better written software than buildkit. two separate things
- literalAardvark 8mo agoBazel just seems so... Academic. I can't make heads or tails of it. Compared to a Dockerfile it's just too hard to follow
- kccqzy 8mo agoOh I love Bazel. The problem is that it’s harder to adopt for teams used to just using make. For a particular project at work, I argued unsuccessfully for switching from plain make to bazel, and it ended up switching to cmake.
- dilyevsky 8mo agoNow with AI bazel maintenance is almost entirely painless experience. I have fewer issues with it than the standard Go toolchain and C++ experience was always quite smooth.
