Hi folks! We recently started using pants at work, and - from the perspective of someone who had already been brainwashed by using bazel for half a decade - it is solving a ton of our problems, and I think it works extremely well. Thank you to everyone who has put in so much hard work on it!

Awesome to hear! Thanks, James. What problems is it solving?

Thanks for the kind words!! Glad we've been able to make something useful for you

Apologies for not seeing the replies to this for a couple months! Conveniently, I was just telling a colleague what problems I see it solving for us. Here's what I said: 1. A single answer to "how should I set up my python environment?". Previously it was, for example: should I use conda, or venv, or virtualenv, or what? should my project use requirements.txt or requirements.in and pip-compile? Should we check in the requirements.txt after pip-compiling it? (I could go on like this for awhile 😅) Now we can have a single good answer for all of this across many projects. 2. Share code across many projects and libraries, without pip packaging and versioning. Change library code and application code in a single merge, rather than changing the library code with a version bump in an initial merge, waiting for the new package to build and publish, and then doing a second MR to get the changes into the application. It is really (2) that makes the case, for me. But (1) is also very refreshing.

That's good to hear, because (2) was the core use-case we designed Pants v2 for
