    I'm looking for something that'd allow me to build N versions of Emacs + run tests on those (isolated). Buck2 is promising, but I'm not a huge fan of Starlark/Python.

    Shake seems interesting, any active happy/unhappy users here?

      Note that Shake is a predecessor of Buck and hence Buck2.

        Yes, I read that, but I wouldn't be surprised if dropping Haskell dependency was implementation goal. It was probably easier to rewrite and use Starlark than convince big groups of engineer to learn Haskell ;)

        In this context Meta using Rust for Buck2 makes a lot of sense.
