Thanks for letting me know! I've updated the blog post to reflect that terminology.

As the author of the article, I'll say that my intent was to share the good time I had writing a Lua interpreter in Go. Other folks in the thread are right: more than one thing in this world can rock. :)

Yup, as others have mentioned, it's for zb. I originally outlined some background on design goals for this blog post, but the outline for that section was as big as the outline for the rest of the post, so I cut it. I'll probably

Thanks! And go for it, it's a good learning experience! It's a really interesting problem domain and there's a lot of different directions you can take it.

Interesting! Thanks, hadn't seen that yet. (For anyone else curious, the RFC is here: https://github.com/NixOS/rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0092-plan-dyn... )

Heh, I think I need to add something to the README. I've been pronouncing it as "zeeb" in my head as in the first syllable Zebesian Space Pirate from Metroid, but TIL that that's canonically "Zay-bay-zee-uhn" s

According to Build systems à la carte, "it is not possible to express dynamic dependencies in [Bazel's] user-defined build rules; however some of the pre-defined build rules require dynamic dependencies and the internal build engi

That's accurate (unless the config file attempts to read something from the build process, that will trigger a build). It's a good point about debugging build problems. This is an issue I've experienced in Nix and Bazel as we

Not yet, but I've hacked up most of the Linux sandboxing: https://github.com/256lights/zb/issues/29 I want to introduce Windows sandboxing, too, but I'm not as confident about how to do that: https

Nice! It might be a little too rough until I've got a working C compiler for Windows: https://github.com/256lights/zb/issues/6 (and Linux for that matter: https://github.com/256lights&#x2

Nix sandboxes derivation runs on Linux even without flakes, and I'm planning on implementing that, yes: https://github.com/256lights/zb/issues/29 and https://github.com/256lights/zb&

Tracking issue is https://github.com/256lights/zb/issues/2 The hurdles to interop I see are: - Nixpkgs is not content-addressed (yet). I made a conscious decision to only support content-addressed derivations

Yup, that was how I built the prototype: https://www.zombiezen.com/blog/2024/06/zb-build-system-proto... The last commit using that approach was https://github.com/256lights/zb/tree&

(Hi! I recognize your name from Bazel mailing lists but I forget whether we've talked before.) I'm mostly contrasting from Nix, which has difficulty with poisoning cache when faced with non-deterministic build steps when using inp

by zombiezen 2y ago
Yup, remote building and caching is on my radar. I expect it will work much in the same way Nix does now, although I'm being a bit more deliberate in creating an RPC layer so build coordinators and other such tools are more straightfor
