• 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

• Show HN: Beast – The Build System

  > I always hope it's going to be about 'power and reliability of Bazel' but as friendly to get going with a basic make rule. Have you seen https://please.build? It is very close to what I think the answer to "What if Blaze was made today?" is. It is conceptually much simpler and doesn't suffer from some of the things that need to happen in Google-scale projects/teams. For example, they haven't done the same gross... - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Pants vs. Bazel: Why Pants may be the right choice for your team

  I’d also suggest looking at https://please.build as an alternative to Bazel and Pants. Source: over 2 years ago

• Security review of "please", a sudo replacement written in Rust

  Man, I was so confused for a sec there. I maintain please, and got really excited that somebody had taken the time to look into my tool. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Crazy fast build times (Or when 10 seconds starts to make you nervous)

  I've started experimenting with the Bazel-like https://please.build/ , which has actual support for incremental builds. I also advocate avoiding a lot of the typical dependencies in the Java ecosystem. There is a lot of bloated garbage that you'll miss less than you might think. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Improving large monorepo performance on GitHub

  I can't speak for using it in a massive monorepo, but I started using https://please.build for some of my personal projects recently just as an alternative to the dominant Java build systems (Ant/Maven/Gradle). It's far more straightforward to use, and incremental builds actually work reliably. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

• Improving large monorepo performance on GitHub

  Perhaps check out a tool like please[1]. There are other tools in this space, but that one has worked well for me without the complexity of some other, similar tools. [1] https://please.build. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago
