Go Dependency management in large company projects - How do you do it?
Hyper-large tech companies managing hyper-large monorepos using Bazel (google), buck (Facebook), please (thought machine), pants (Twitter, Foursquare & Square) enjoy them but also have a lot of resources devoted to running and maintaining it.

Using URLs for dependency management
Buck has a http_file() that you can use this way, and it has first-class support for Java.

Is it possible to be an android developer ONLY with the documentation?
That's a good bridge into saying that we don't use pretty much any standard tooling. Our build system is Buck, we use Mercurial instead of Git, and the IDE of choice seems to be Visual Studio (although Android Studio is supported, with some custom plugins required).

Best/Worst C++ IDE you have ever used?
Didn't know it was python based. Their github repo shows 90% of the code is java, only 2% is python. Regardless, C++ build systems should be written by people who are familiar with C++ and the specific problems they need to solve. That means the build system should be written in C++ or C and not in java, lua, or python. I certainly do not want to install python just to build my C++ programs in a CI environment, it just increases my build complexity and attack surface
- Are there any java build tools which have not been written in Java?, If not, what could be the reason?

Babel is used by millions, so why are we running out of money? (2021)
I do appreciate your transparency, though I disagree with the sentiment that Iām arguing from a position of bad faith.
Itās a self-evident fact that the Babel team has not shown a moment of interest in lowering their role in the JavaScript ecosystem to anything short of kingmakers. Have a gander at their GitHub README and what do we see?[1]
- āBabel is a compiler for writing next generation JavaScript.ā Indefinitely.
- Over a dozen sponsor logos. An embarrassment of riches.
- A literal audio recording of a song in praise of the project.
The Babel team has a well documented history of their priorities[2], emphasizing the need for a modular approach that has no exit strategy[3]. At best, we have a case of accidental entrenchment and long term dependence on the Babel brewing as early as 2017![4]
Compare this infinite circus to the humble but popular Normalize.css, which has the express purpose to stop existing.[5]
If the Babel team wants to raise some money, they can start by putting a plan together that would codify an exit strategy. Itās certainly more noble than their current plan of barnacling on to every NPM packageā¦

Reveddit does not work
The problem was I had used some new code, Javascript's replaceAll(), that is unsupported by older browsers. And, the setup I have to automatically fix such issues (called babel) is out of date. So, while this problem appears to be resolved there, I hadn't updated that in awhile.

React project structure for scale: decomposition, layers and hierarchy
There are quite a few public repositories of well-known projects that use the multi-packages monorepo approach: Babel, React, Jest to name a few.
What are some alternatives?
Bazel - a fast, scalable, multi-language and extensible build system
Traceur compiler - Traceur is a JavaScript.next-to-JavaScript-of-today compiler
Live Server - A simple development http server with live reload capability.
Gradle - Adaptable, fast automation for all
ESLint - Find and fix problems in your JavaScript code.
Lebab - Turn your ES5 code into readable ES6. Lebab does the opposite of what Babel does.
Apache Maven - Apache Maven core
dark-mode - Control the macOS dark mode from the command-line
ECMAScript 6 compatibility table - ECMAScript compatibility tables
swc - Rust-based platform for the Web
http-server - a simple zero-configuration command-line http server
