Pants

Hi all, this is a bit of an overdue but better late than never.

My name is Achraf. I am a Software Engineer at Google. I have started investigating `Pants` for a personal project. So far I have been happy with the tooling, the docs, and the support from the community (thanks a lot to everyone who has helped me so far). I'd love to get to the point of contributing back (but so far I feel I am still onboarding).

For anyone curious why I am trying `Pants` but not `Bazel` (see thread below)

I have experience with the internal version of `Bazel` called `Blaze`. To be honest I really like `Blaze`. But also I understand that there is a whole team behind it that makes it work for the languages at Google. As a singleton that's overkill.

`Pants` provides a wholistic developper experience; from a build system, linters, checkers, to setting up an IDE. `Pants` is also custumizable. Protobuf support was a must for me thanks for whoever built it.
