    It can be. By default it is local.

    But it has protobufs interfaces (IIRC), so a distributed build farm would generate the grpc endpoints for their implementation and then you tell bazel on the command line (or via .bazelrc) the address of the build farm it can use.

    There's a couple of projects that implement the distributed/grpc part, the main one is https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-buildfarm

    Not sure what to say concerning buildfarm's remote execution.

    Reading an issue I've opened 1y ago [1], seems the backend requires the client to have a specific gcc version.

    That's a strong limitation imho.

    Currently migrating to Bazel + bazel remote execution via Bazel buildfarm. Bazel has native support for build clusters.

    That's why we have closure, Dart, PureScript, TypeScript and many other languages which try to make it safer.
  • Building an Application with ClojureScript
    2 projects | dev.to | 19 Sep 2022
    After ClojureScript compiles to JavaScript, the compiled code has a smaller size than hand-written JavaScript. This is because it makes use of the Google Closure compiler for minification and optimization.

    That’s Google Closure [1] with an ‘s’, not ClojureScript [2] with a ‘j’.

    ClojureScript uses the Closure Compiler to optimise its JS output, but that’s the only relationship, and the name is a coincidence.
