I don't work in a shop where performance/speed is important, but I am looking for other ways to do things I would do in Make but...not in Make.
For example, my use-case is similar to what Mike Bostock described in "Why Use Make" [0] when explaining how he uses Make to build out his data tranformation process. Most of my work is data transformation/small-scale ETL, but I just haven't been able to get into Make beyond trivial work, and I often end up writing things in Rake (Ruby).
So I was wondering if other devs had tried using Buck/Bazel for everyday hobbies and projects, and whether you stuck with the new tool or went back to Make? The portability of Makefiles isn't a high priority for me, and I like experimenting with different systems for my own projects.
