Pants monorepo for a company is not as attractive as Bazel monorepo.
Python is the first class language of Pants. Modern Data/ML Stack relies heavily on Python.
Let Data/ML dance with Pants!

We do have a lot of use in the data science space, and those use-cases are one of the reasons we focused on Python initially, and then Scala next.
I’d argue that Pants is a better choice for many other areas as well, but Data Science/ML is where we should really shine.
However, not many of the core Pants maintainers have much personal data science experience as a user, so we welcome suggestions, designs etc!

I think the most important thing for Pants on Data/ML is adding SQL support now!

What kind of SQL support would be useful?

Just like the shell language support, format and lint is good enough for the sql language.
Using SQL Lint tool like: https://docs.sqlfluff.com/en/stable/
