Astral: Next-Gen Python Tooling
> As for Python package management, my team is migrating to Bazel which has its own way of locking in the Python dependencies and then pulling them from a remote cache. Under Bazel, we are only re-examining the dependencies when someone proposes a change to produce the lock. It's so rare, that having a new+faster thing that does this part would not present a meaningful benefit.
Have you considered Pants[0], Buck[1] or Waf[2]? What ultimately made you decide to go for Bazel?

I Like Makefiles
> Does anyone know of anything better than Make?
Xmake https://xmake.io/ for C and C++ (I haven't use that for anything serious yet) and Buck 2 https://buck2.build/ if you need a really complex build system.

Declarative Gradle is a cool thing I am afraid of: Maven strikes back
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 I also won’t discuss Kobalt for the same reason (besides, it’s no longer actively maintained).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 👇
