bazel

Could you use Ruby or Python as the front-end, much like Rails [2], Rake [3], or Bazel [4]?

The Bazel query language has a far nicer syntax than Maven's XML without the risk of Gradle's full procedural language Groovy.

Couldn't find any references to it in the bazel code at github too.

- Use bazel query with rdeps to get a list of tests that depend on that source file.

Internally at Google, Blaze was extremely customizable, and I hope Bazel too, so one can easily add support for building iOS apps etc.

Are there any comparisons of: 1) bazel VS.

From the FAQ: Multi-language support: Bazel supports Java, Objective-C and C++ out of the box, and can be extended to support arbitrary programming languages.

Rules are the things that know how to take whatever is specified as it's inputs, do something to them, then produce some specified set of outputs Google has a large number of rules (IE far far more than just the rules you see in bazel).

I left Google a couple of years ago and we ended up building our own rpc around protos (Thrift just doesn't cut it), and our Make/maven based build has the standard problems with such things, so I'm really looking forward to using grpc and bazel in the near future.

I don't know about Bazel, but Blaze doesn't "check in binaries".

While the "official" open-source projects are things like Chrome, Android, GWT, Go, Dart, gRPC, and Bazel.

With Bazel, it's pretty easy to make this transformation: - Get a list of source files changed.

With all the news lately about Bazel, kind of refreshing to talk about this war-horse.

Does work done by Debian to make Linux packages build reproducibly help Bazel?
