Hi folks, I'm Gilbert, VP of Software at Fabric Cryptography. This is my second time joining - new email. We've been using pants in our monorepo to build C++, Protobuf, Verilog, Rust, and Python targets into integrated shared libraries and binaries that we use to codesign custom silicon and a software stack. Obviously, pants doesn't have any/official support for a few of those things! We make heavy use of shell_command to chain together targets, which has been one of the major benefits over other hermetic build systems - we can pretty easily hack together something that works and still follows the principles of the framework. I appreciate all the help I've gotten from this community so far, and looking forward to new features.

Not sure if you’ve used it yet, but

adhoc_tool

is kinda like the shell command on steroids, so maybe there’s the possibility of some better caching along the way? Also, Pants + Verilog? Never thought I’d live to see the day :)

oh, wow I hadn't seen adhoc_tool before, that should make some things much cleaner. Thanks!
