What Hacker News says
3 sourcesI think Lucid (the charts, not EVs) use these internally: https://github.com/higherkindness/rules_scala
And they support Scala 2.13
In Explicit term inference with Scala 3Thanks for your work Laurent!

I have, and you've responded. [2]
And a year later it is still is unclear to me whether Starlark is going to get tree artifact actions, or dependency discovery (pruning), which C++ uses to great effect.
I proposed a solution to both problems. [3] Oscar from Stripe presented a proposal at the first Bazel Conf.
I've concluded that either (1) I'm using the wrong channels or (2) Bazel isn't that aware/interested in Starlark parity.
TBH, the number of responses that are ignorant of the dependency discovery disparity alone shows me how unaware Bazel is of the Skylark-only deficiencies.
Great project (seriously), b
Read the rest
ut when your bread-and-butter compiled languages* (Java, C++, Objective C) aren't using the same system as everyone else, it's only natural.
Again, great project.

* Go is in Starlark but has essentially required the complex Gazelle build tool to be layered on top of Bazel.
