02/07/2019, 4:22 PMActually a tagline would be great. Like Rust now has “Empowering everyone to build
reliable and efficient software.”
When writing the blog, I wasn’t sure what language to use. I settled on “Pants is a build system to allow working with enormous monorepos that may use multiple languages and dozens of tools and dependencies. ”

Pants is a build system designed for codebases that:
Are large and/or growing rapidly.
Consist of many subprojects that share a significant amount of code.
Have complex dependencies on third-party libraries.
Use a variety of languages, code generators and frameworks.aloof-angle-91616
