if you're a googler and are designing the next nine build systems that will be imposed on the software industry, please name them after the circles of hell from dante's inferno. it won't make anyone like them more but maybe they'd earn a begrudging respect at least
@hikari …so that's why they called it blaze
@hikari The Google system is already named after an inferno
@saagar which one?
@hikari or appropriate the Plan 9 OS naming scheme
@hikari It really amazes me that, in the 25+ years I've been in industry build systems are as horrid as they've always been. Something fundamental about them just stymies all attempts to make a truly good one.
@roadriverrail @hikari the best I've identified so far is "manually updated make(1) which is truly pathetic
@hikari cannot wait for the Avernus toolchain
