Bazel is a build system (analogous to make, ant, etc.) that promises better dependency analysis, faster builds and better reproducibility. One of the goals of Bazel is to make it easy to be extended to support multiple languages; Currently extensions exist for most of the popular programming languages. Bazel is a fork of Blaze, Google’s internal build system, so it has been battle tested on very large codebases.
