  • Cargo

    The Rust package manager

    • Project mention: Understanding Dependencies in Programming | dev.to | 2024-04-14

    Dependency Management in Other Languages: We've discussed Python and Node.js in this article, but dependency management is a universal concept in programming. Exploring how you handle dependencies in other languages like Java, C#, or Rust could be beneficial. (I think Rust's cargo is an excellent example of a package manager.)

  • earthly

    Super simple build framework with fast, repeatable builds and an instantly familiar syntax – like Dockerfile and Makefile had a baby.

    • Project mention: Cache is King: A guide for Docker layer caching in GitHub Actions | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-07

    Also CACHE keyword, for cache mounts. Makes incremental tools like compilers work well in the context of dockerfiles and layer caches.

    That can extend beyond just producing docker iamges as well. Under the covers the CACHE keyword is how lib/rust in Earthly makes building Rust artifacts in CI faster.

  • pants

    The Pants Build System

    • Project mention: The xz attack shell script | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-02

    > C/C++'s header system with conditional inclusion

    Wouldn't it be more accurate to say something like "older build systems"? I don't think any of the things you listed are "modern". Which isn't a criticism of their legacy! They have been very useful for a long time, and that's to be applauded. But they have huge problems, which is a big part of why newer systems have been created.

    FWIW, I have been using pants[0] (v2) for a little under a year. We chose it after also evaluating it and bazel (but not nix, for better or worse). I think it's really really great! Also painful in some ways (as is inevitably the case with any software). And of course it's nearly impossible to entirely stomp out "genrules" use cases. But it's much easier to get much closer to true hermeticity, and I'm a big fan of that.

  • cargo-edit

    A utility for managing cargo dependencies from the command line.

    • Project mention: Hey Rustaceans! Got a question? Ask here (23/2023)! | /r/rust | 2023-06-06

    “cargo add” from https://github.com/killercup/cargo-edit has that behavior, but not the built in one that was added to cargo

  • cargo-watch

    Watches over your Cargo project's source.

    • Project mention: Cryptoflow: Building a secure and scalable system with Axum and SvelteKit - Part 0 | dev.to | 2024-01-04

    I used cargo-watch here so that every time my source changes, the server will automatically restart and re-serve the updated code.

  • moon

    A task runner and repo management tool for the web ecosystem, written in Rust.

  • please

    High-performance extensible build system for reproducible multi-language builds.

    • Project mention: Go Dependency management in large company projects - How do you do it? | /r/golang | 2023-07-08

    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.

  • cargo-make

    Rust task runner and build tool.

  • Mill

    Your shiny new Java/Scala build tool!

    • Project mention: Mill project structure | /r/scala | 2023-12-07

    I had filed a GitHub ticket, but it was closed as "out of scope". I'm not sure why the maintainers insisted on perpetuating the ambiguity, and would like to know your opinion about the following. None of the references above answer these very basic and very important questions.

  • doit

    • Project mention: How do you deal with CI, project config, etc. falling out of sync across repos? | /r/ExperiencedDevs | 2023-12-06
