bazel-example-rust VS rules_jvm

I think this would have been useful with some code. My experience with Bazel is that you need a BUILD file in each subdirectory or something like that and every time I add a file I have to add it to that BUILD file.

Exceedingly tedious to use and has poor support in Clion.

It is likely that I don't have the constraints that this company has.

I found an example repo for rust and Bazel and it is just as tedious as I recall https://github.com/laramiel/bazel-example-rust

It is super tedious but for some languages a tool called Gazelle can auto-generate these for you. I know Go works well and there is a Java plugin too [0]. There is definitely some level rust support because that is how external crates are handled.
