Why multiple manyrepos over a single monorepo?
32.
by wocram 1y ago
I think most monorepo advocates are actually anti "one repo per project" at heart. That's the real anti-pattern imo.

All software with dependencies needs to respect it's dependents. A monorepo doesn't really change anything about the relationship between a library and it's users, except that the library or the users are somewhat more empowe

Bazel is notoriously difficult to set up to begin with, but not so difficult to use after that. What was your bad experience?

This isn't a polyrepo in disguise. This is a monorepo done correctly.

by wocram 1y ago
Much more common is that an easy cross project change in a monorepo simply isn't don't in a polyrepo because of how much more onerous it is.

Just today I saw someone try to set up a new project and stumble over setting it up as it's own repository, instead of just having a central place to add it. There's also a vicious feedback loop of separating projects across repos

Is this standard promotion driven development? Or do the people who are trying to open source these products end up being blocked?

I think it's hard to argue that Cargo.toml is any simpler than Python. Json might be ubiquitous enough for anyone to read and understand, but if Python is foreign than toml is no better.

What do you get out of using sapling without mononoke or eden?

What drove you away from Bazel? I would expect anyone considering migrating away from a "legacy" tool like maven would consider a "modern" tool like Bazel first.

Usually the deferred bonus is paid out to you if you leave, so it's a little bit different than an RSU grant.

This is a setting, you can change it to any other date format you want.

Rustc is very tightly coupled with cargo. Nothing stops you from calling rustc yourself, but you basically need to reverse engineer what cargo is doing. My reference for this is https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust

Having read the 2 recent blog posts, I was interested in the release and read through most of the rig site. The hook on the rig page tells me it's an alternative to make, and geared towards C code. It doesn't tell me why this is b

This sounds nice on paper, but there's a lot of missing glue to be written between nix and bazel. Ideally nix would move towards less imperative/genrule style package declarations and ultimately become more usable for internal bui

What's the main use-case you imagine for gittuf? Do you think it will work well for supporting a monorepo?

What if non-salary compensation makes up the majority of their total compensation?
49.
by wocram 4y ago
Sure but that's not the interesting part. If bazel hit some critical mass of usability and/or package availability it could be rewritten.

The problem with bazel here is that every project, no matter how small, ends up needing some beefy WORKSPACE and bazelrc, especially when you start bringing in this party dependencies. How do we streamline this? bzlmod and bcr are steps in

I don't doubt the UX is better, but internal users are a captive audience. I imagine most developers will not think twice about what vcs they are using unless their organization makes the change.

by wocram 4y ago
'one day' is not very reassuring! Improved UX is nice and all, but why would anyone migrate without getting killer performance features like the virtual file system?

Doesn't feel like it reduces the number of smurfs, boosters, or account buyers in dota2. I imagine it would be even worse without, though.

I see it's not in nixpkgs, what's difficult about setting it up?
55.
by wocram 4y ago
I have spent a little bit of time working on a prototype of a setup like this, and have needed to write a lot of (hacky) glue and BUILD files. I take it you have departed quite a bit from https://github.com/tweag/rules_

How are you integrating bazel and nix? My assumption is that bazel is running in an environment created by nix, so I wonder what you mean by 'deeply integrated'.

vaporware?

by wocram 5y ago
I have to say, if it weren't for this comment, reading through the links doesn't make me thing of 'nixpkgs with starlark instead of bash at all'.

BUILD file evaluation is very similar to nix expression evaluation. I think the bazel 'analysis' phase is equivalent to the nix derivation expansion step Maybe nix is more lazy, but I would be surprised if nix ends up doing substa

The trade-off is that it's much harder to select a set of versions with nix, and requires some knowledge of nix lang. If you can just take all of your packages from a tag of nixpkgs, then that experience is very nice. On the other hand
