Bazel is not failing in the open source world though
2 comments

I think that maintaining a hosted service has significantly higher fixed costs than maintaining an open source project whose users are responsible for deploying it themselves. So a higher degree of adoption would be necessary to justify it.
Dont get me wrong, I love Bazel. But tooling for it to build multi-language multi-billion line monorepos doesn’t exist outside big companies.
