> The irony being that most of the big shops are aggressively dumping it in favor of Buck — Facebook’s Android build system. Google is chasing a dying strategy here. Igave it a try to a "small" project and there weren't any noticeable advantage over Gradle (and given that Instant Run is working quite well, it was really buggy when it comes out). I know for a fact that aside from Facebook, Uber uses it and comes out with a nice Gradle plugin for Buck called OkBuck[0]. I wonder what other big shops use as well. And I would like to know if anyone here has used it and saw any dramatic advantage over Gradle and worth investing time integrating Buck into current projects. [0]: https://github.com/uber/okbuck

I think the best people to speak to this would be the Uber folks, as I believe they still use both via okbuck (https://github.com/uber/okbuck): https://eng.uber.com/ios-monorepo/

Buck has been open source for a while! It's especially popular among larger companies who have a ton of mobile developers contributing to their apps, but I'm not sure if FB has ever publicized who exactly is using Buck. Other companies have been contributing to the Buck ecosystem, too, though, like https://github.com/uber/okbuck
