so use Bazel or buck2 if you need an iteration on make's handling of changed files. Bazel is much more serious of a project than buildkit. I'm not saying make is more functional that buildkit (it might be to some), I'm saying its better written software than buildkit. two separate things
Oh I love Bazel. The problem is that it’s harder to adopt for teams used to just using make. For a particular project at work, I argued unsuccessfully for switching from plain make to bazel, and it ended up switching to cmake.
Now with AI bazel maintenance is almost entirely painless experience. I have fewer issues with it than the standard Go toolchain and C++ experience was always quite smooth.
