• Want to Get Better at Java? Go Old School.

  I will not suggest truly old-school Java programming. When I started in Java, we built Java classes with the javac command. This led to writing shell scripts to build complex projects and finally, Makefiles using the Unix and Windows commands make and nmake respectively. I remember being thrilled when the Ant utility came out and we had a pure Java build tool. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago

  Didn't know that people still use Ant for building their source code. Source: over 1 year ago

• Better CI/CD caching with new-gen build systems

  A build system is a program that orchestrates the execution of underlying tools such as compilers, code generators, test runners, linters and so on. Examples of build systems include the venerable Make, the JVM-centric Ant, Maven and Gradle, and newer systems such as Pants and Bazel (full disclosure: I am one of the maintainers of Pants). - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago

• Build error when running 'nix build', running build steps by hand with 'nix develop' works

  You are missing a dependency: antlr. You have ant instead, which is something completely different. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Top programming languages created in the 2010's on GitHub by stars

  I’m not sure a JS library qualifies as a PL. Or automation software (SoftStack). Or an API description language. Or a build system. Source: about 1 year ago

• Just Use a Monorepo

  Regarding your first point, a good alternative to Bazel is [Please][https://please.build/] - its build graph can solve exactly this problem in CI. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Need to know about various distributed build tools available

  Checkout: https://please.build/ - CMake is not directly supported, but you can easily extend please.build to invoke cmake commands to build your targets. - It does supports both Windows(ehweee) and Linux - MIT - BONUS: it is fast. Really fast(||)! Single binary. It is also versatile. I am using it to build a repo with multiple programming languages(C++(Wasm),Go,Js, Flutter), while spinning up vagrant and...

• When to Use Bazel?

  > the best way forward is to take the ideas of Bazel (hermetic and deterministic builds) and package them as a good small build system, perhaps even compatible with Bazel so you don't have to rewrite build rules all the time. How does https://please.build measure up? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I'm building an experimental successor to Bazel™

  Good luck! I assume you are aware of please.build? Source: over 1 year ago
