| | [AI summary] The blog post explores the inner workings of modern build tools, emphasizing their use of a build graph to manage tasks efficiently. It compares tools like Bazel, Gradle, and Mill, highlighting how each defines and processes the build graph. The post explains caching, parallelism, and the importance of a structured build graph in optimizing build processes. It also discusses the advantages of using a programming language for defining build configurations, such as better IDE support, compiler assistance, and access to a rich library ecosystem. The conclusion underscores that while build tools may appear different on the surface, they share a common goal of enhancing development efficiency through automation and optimization.

| The Rust programming language sent ripples through the programming community when it was first released in 2015, promising the blazing speed of lower-level programming languages without the accompanying sharp edges. Four and a half years on, many programmers still view Rust with a mix of intrigue and trepidation due to its appealing premise and notoriously difficult learning curve. We sat down with one of Cosive's Senior Developers, Sid Odgers, to talk about why he believes more programmers should take the plunge and learn Rust.
