I feel like I’ve hit something really special with Bazel, but there’s almost no ecosystem around it.
Im trying to use it for game development, the model fits so perfectly for large monorepo projects with explicit dependencies, but it seems like since there’s no ecosystem that I have to write a lot of my own rules from scratch; and the learning resources are many years old and in the conference format. It’s quite dense to get in.
Even the slack requires an @google.com email to get in.
There was an issue with the sign-up link that was fixed a few days ago. https://slack.bazel.build/ should work now. It's a public Slack and was always intended to be, as far as I know.
Yeah, I'm not sure how long it was broken. Slack's support for public instances seems a bit strange. Even the new invite code is only good for 2000 new members or something, after which that link will again redirect to the page that requires a @google.com address until someone notices.
I did that page was a log in or sign up page, which required an @google.com email to sign up: someone has fixed it now, it wasn’t working on Friday which was the last time I checked.
