https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2021/07/01/future-of-buck/ More build systems taking on rust as a core language :) curious about what their extensibility offering will look like!

veeery interesting.
1) excited about more rust
2) think that by keeping their existing rules API they’re not differentiating themselves much from bazel… but maybe there will be more announcements to that end in the future

Well, keeping the same BUILD file API - the rules API was previously all internal and not exposed

Yeah, and all compiled straight into the tool itself - no extensions
