   This is kind of the point with systems like blaze/bazel: it is a unified system with rules per language.

    Depends how deep you want to go. But I'd personally suggest going through past courses from someone in the field. For example: https://igl.ethz.ch/teaching/shape-modeling/sm2022/ is a course that Olga So
