Random q, but if pants v2 doesn’t support scala and doesn’t have it in the roadmap for the first half, how is twitter using it?

Yeah. They gave an update at the last Bazel con, and it sounded like they had at least a year and a half to go.
We're confident that pants can continue to have a better Python experience, and that we can be competitive for the JVM as well.

I think we can be a lot better with Python, and quite a lot better for JVM, especially if you're writing custom rules.
We would like to have JVM support in the summer-ish, depending on whether we can find interested orgs to partner with, who can also contribute some of the work (which means their use-cases would be the first ones to be taken care of).
