I had breakfast with @li_haoyi this morning, and we talked about build tools. It was a rich, constructive and uncompetitive chat. I can thoroughly recommend engaging with anyone who is writing software in the same domain as you. Especially if it's Haoyi, because he probably is...

Unfortunately, I don't think there's much that's generally useful. It was quite educational for me, but my conclusion was that if you have ~50 developers working on a build tool, your value judgements change.
It's worthwhile having the Bazel team try to solve very complex problems for just a tiny gain, and many of those things are simply not viable for Mill or Fury (or sbt or Seed).

i deeply agree and the converse is perhaps that areas outside of those very complex problems (outside of google) are "less optimized for". it's hard to put a number on customers served by open source development (or for that matter enabling the use of build tools in subprojects)
