Pants Build System

Pants 2 is a fast, scalable, user-friendly build system for codebases of all sizes. It's currently focused on Python, Go, Java, Scala, Kotlin, Shell, and Docker, with support for other languages and frameworks coming soon. A lot of effort has gone into making Pants easy to adopt, easy to use and easy to extend. We're super excited to bring Pants' distinctive features to Go, Java, Python, Scala, Kotlin, and Shell users. Pants requires very minimal BUILD file metadata/boilerplate. It uses a combination of static analysis and sensible defaults to infer most of that information on the fly. So your BUILD files can be very minimal — and even those can be generated and updated for you. Pants has out-of-the-box support for multiple dependency resolves and their corresponding lockfiles, so you can have hermetic, repeatable builds that are resilient to supply chain attacks, even in complex situations where you have multiple versions of the same dependencies in different parts of the codebase.
