> However, here's what I will say: if you are in an organization, I think Bazel really shines. If you can take time to write some custom tools and rules and really integrate your software into Bazel, it can be an awesome experience. ... Another plus: it is Amazing having a build system that crosses languages.

This is pretty much what I think of when I want to like Bazel. I wish we had it on Cloud Foundry. Or, rather, I wish it had existed 5 years ago and had been used on Cloud Foundry from the beginning, because CF and its associated projects have hundreds of repositories and these have mostly been kept in sync through mountains of tests and oceans of automation. It works, but I know that in another universe it works better.
