Buck 2 by Facebook

NOTE: I won’t mention SBT and Leiningen here because, with all due respect, they are niche build tools. I also won’t discuss Kobalt for the same reason (besides, it’s no longer actively maintained). Additionally, I won’t touch upon Bazel and Buck in this context, mainly because I’m not very familiar with them. If you have insights or comments about these tools, please feel free to share them in the comments 👇

There's a new build system which works on similar ideas to buck: https://buck2.build/

I don't think all these pieces are open source yet, but https://github.com/facebook/buck2/blob/main/prelude/rust/rust-analyzer/resolve_deps.bxl is a snippet that is used to drive Rust Analyzer

We have a small example project that demonstrates what that would look like with buck2: https://github.com/facebook/buck2/tree/main/examples/bootstrap

There are a few references to NixOS on the code/issues.[0] I wonder what Meta's use case is for NixOS.

hmm. this migration would have been possible with staying with nix and developing a rules_rust equivalent (maybe it already exists) - see https://github.com/ghuntley/depot/tree/trunk/nix/buildGo for example but for golang. provides a simple dsl over nix and hides nix.
