Hi everyone 🙂 I've started moving some projects to pants a couple of months ago and it's been great so far 🎉 I'm now trying to upgrade all of them to use the new v2 engine 🤞

Awesome to hear! Are you mostly using Pants for Python or other languages too?

only python for now, we have a big monorepo with a lot of dependencies. ATM we have around 50 projects (apps and libraries) and we are creating more 😁

Awesome! Speaking of dependencies, two upcoming features in 1.30 that will possibly be helpful for your project: 1) dependency cycles (aka import cycles) are now tolerated. This is a big barrier to adoption for some users 2) dependency inference, meaning that Pants will read your Python import statements to auto-populate the

dependencies

field for you. Meaning BUILD files are much smaller and easier to manage

nice! we have some cycle dependencies that won't be easy to get rid of now, but eventually we will. looking forward to try out 1.30 🙂

Even Pants’ own codebase has some cycles 😬 we cheat by not declaring them in the BUILD files Also, I’m thinking we will add an optional linter in 1.30 that detects cycles for you
