10/19/2016, 7:15 PMha! I can assure you we have no such flag! It could very well be ordering issues. I don't have time to investigate now, but we had similar issues when we migrated from mvn to pants. - l

10/19/2016, 8:30 PMmight explain why we don't see the issues, since we have no conflicts within the classpath - w

10/19/2016, 8:55 PM@ancient-stone-50795 : so, does that mean you're go or no-go on the 1.2.0 release? - w

10/19/2016, 9:06 PMI understand that pants does incremental builds and also only build targets that have changed. Can pants do parallel builds? For example, if I have a target that depends on 3 additional build targets, would it build those 3 targets in parallel? - r

10/19/2016, 9:07 PM@rough-minister-58256 Thanks! Is there a reason this has not been done yet? - w

10/19/2016, 9:15 PMWe are evaluating pants vs bazel here at Pinterest. We already use pants for some python code. Has anyone looked at pants vs bazel ? esp for python - r

10/19/2016, 9:18 PMbazel’s ootb python support doesn’t give you much - r

10/19/2016, 9:18 PMthere are pex rules you can add, but they’re much more unwieldy than pants+pex - b
brainy-rocket-31846
10/19/2016, 9:20 PM@rough-minister-58256 Thanks. any other issues besides pex? We are still warming to pex, so other features will be more valuable. - b

10/19/2016, 9:21 PMAlso, how is the C++ support in pants. Any idea how it compares to pants? - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/19/2016, 9:21 PMpants' c++ support is very, very young. i'd expect bazel's to be much more mature. - r

10/19/2016, 9:22 PMc++ needs a strong customer to help build it up - b
brainy-rocket-31846
10/19/2016, 9:22 PMAre there any prod deployments of pants and c++. I used pants at twitter for python/Java/Scala mostly. - r

10/19/2016, 9:22 PMI think Mesos used it for a bit? - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/19/2016, 9:23 PMno, there are not. c++ was just published recently for the first time... @fast-megabyte-33579 was interested in trying it out - w
witty-crayon-22786
10/19/2016, 9:23 PMif you have any scala, i'll say that pants' support for scala is much, much more mature. - b
brainy-rocket-31846
10/19/2016, 9:24 PM@witty-crayon-22786 The only scala we have is when we use twitter open source projects. - b

10/19/2016, 9:25 PMOur stack is a lot like Twitter so pants fits very well for us.👖 3 - w

10/19/2016, 9:26 PMThe only wrinkle is the C++ team started using bazel recently so now we have 2 competing systems - w

10/19/2016, 9:28 PMit's available as `pantsbuild.pants.contrib.cpp`: https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=pkg_edit&name=pantsbuild.pants.contrib.cpp ... but yea, it's very immature, and would need someone to own it. - b
