[llvm-dev] Contributing Bazel BUILD files similar to gn

[Stefan Teleman via llvm-dev]

> This is a fairly unhelpful email - clearly folks using Bazel derive some benefit/have chosen some tradeoff compared to CMake. Doesn't have to be the thing you want, but it's pretty unhelpful to dismiss/diminish the needs of others like this.

I did not see a rationale for the Bazel proposal, outlining its
benefits over CMake.

Speaking with direct experience with Bazel - Tensorflow - I cannot
think of a single reason why it would/should be considered "better"
over the current CMake.

Everyone has their own favorite build system. That is nice, but it is
not enough of a reason to propose adding it.

I would also like to become informed as to what particular
needs/shortcomings/defects are addressed by Bazel, that are lacking in
/ cannot be addressed by CMake.

Thanks.
