Also Facebook has a history of releasing the source code for something. Making a huge splash and then essentially doing nothing after 3 months (aka after someone gets their review).
They use the code internally but fail at making sure it has use externally. This is doubly the case for anything infrastructure
Buck2: Was released. Never could be built correctly without the latest nightly of Rust and even then it was fragile outside of Meta's build architecture
Sapling: Has a whole bunch of excitement and backing when it was announced. Has been essentially dead 3 mos after release.
I used to work for Meta infra. I know the MO. Have a hard time trusting.
Astral use-case is external and has a better chance of actually being supported.
