Looking at https://github.com/facebook/buck/graphs/contributors it seems like there hasn't been any commits to the Buck master branch in over a year. I loved using Buck in 2014 when it was the best open source Blaze. At least until 2015 when Google made Blaze open source. Now I just use make because I saw how angry Bazel made people. I suspect part of it was that asking people to install a new build system just to use your project was a big ask, and it was even bigger ask when that build system pulled in dependencies like the JDK. If Facebook rewrites it all in Rust and manages to ship single-file executables similar to what I can already do today with GNU Make, then it might be a positive improvement.
