Make and CMake are not examples of what I was talking about!

In Bazel (and, I assume, other similar systems), you can just "bazel run target" and it always works. Doesn't matter what languages the thing is written in.

Make and CMake are certainly not like what. (Yes, you can have a "run" target, but that's not the same thing).

So my minor gripe is that 'runtime run source' does not need to be a per-runtime thing.



I use Bazel's friend at work but can't imagine using it without also having build_cleaner. Is there an equivalent in the wild?


I am not sure actually, there is this but it doesn't seem to support C++ or Python in the way build_cleaner does, which sounds like it would indeed be kinda annoying: https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel-gazelle
