08/19/2022, 5:29 PMHi, I'm a software engineer at Outrider, working on perception stack for autonomous truck navigation. I'm in the process of setting up a new repo for our team, so looking into build system. I love bazel, but its supports for python is still has too much friction, so I found pants, and I'm evaluating it. Will have lots more questions. Thanks!

What's your take on that? š

08/19/2022, 5:42 PMThe simple take is it was a transition from Pants v1 to Bazel. Pants v1 pretty much just shares a name with Pants v2 but is basically not comparable. We'd switch too! We did, but to Pants v2.

08/19/2022, 5:44 PMAs the original author of Pants v0 and a big part of Pants v1 I can say, it was not too great except for the Scala support Twitter later added, that was pretty good.

08/19/2022, 5:45 PMI see.. That makes sense. I will need to look into the differences between v1 vs v2 to understand the justification. Thanks for sharing!

08/19/2022, 8:57 PM@bitter-ability-32190 just out of my curiosity, do you have c++ code in your repo by any chance? If yes, can you share with me how do you deal with that? (I'm asking a similar question here)
