Using Bazel and Conan for external dependencies
4 projects | /r/bazel | 9 Jul 2022

It is using the pkg-config generator of Conan under the hood. A lot of code in the bazel rule is from https://github.com/cherrry/bazel_pkg_config for all pkg-config related stuff

Why We Switched from Python to Go

Bazel 5.0 LTS with the new external dependency subsystem "Bzlmod"
2 projects | /r/programming | 20 Jan 2022

Agree IDE support isn't great for Bazel + python. We've reached a happy (for us) median by using Bazel to build a virtualenv, and using that virtualenv to power normal python tools. All of the packages in the env are just symlinked bazep deps. See rules_pyvenv.
Show HN: We open sourced our new Mac developer setup script

We currently manage the dependencies manually, although I'm pretty sure work is being done to bring gazelle to rules_python (maybe it's already landed).
For what it's worth, our venv stuff is at https://github.com/cedarai/rules_pyvenv
