hi Buro, Sorry for the delay in writing back!
Our build systems would benefit a great deal from this sort of attention. Each component has its own build system at the moment, but it would be useful to have a Bazel-based build, for C++ at least but perhaps more components in the future. We've invested a lot of energy in building the CMake build system to this point and handling automatically building the dependencies; if Bazel ends up being more future-proof or more maintainable, that sounds good to me. In any case, we'd be glad to have you involved with the project. best, Wes On Mon, Mar 12, 2018 at 7:15 PM, Bhaskar Mookerji <mooke...@gmail.com> wrote: > Truncation error: > > *helping contribute back to the ecosystem.
