BazelCon training day is back for another year on October 13. We're looking at hosting sessions on extending Bazel with Starlark, rules_js, and rules_py.

What would you want to learn from a 90-minute workshop?

Aspect's rules_lint reaches 2.0. We are excited to announce the second major release of our formatting and linting support for Bazel.

We’ve been incredibly gratified by the more than 60 open-source contributors who have improved the ruleset, and everyone who has filed or answered issues. Thank you!

Aspect Build contributions to the new #Bazel 9 release include prebuilt upstream Protobuf. https://t.co/hP4w7Sl63L Protobuf is @Google 's language-neutral, platform-neutral, extensible mechanism for serializing structured data, making it helpful for high-performance data exchange in systems like microservices and gRPC.

We are excited to welcome Dinah McNutt to the Aspect Build team as Senior Technical Program Manager, based in Dublin, Ireland.

She has devoted her career to technical program management including a 13-year tenure at Google.

Dinah's MIT Master's thesis "A Study of Turbulent Flame Propagation" is perfect education for managing developers to put out software fires.

We are glad to have her on board!

Aspect Extension Language (AXL) is a dialect of Starlark — the same language Bazel uses. AXL tasks interact with Bazel’s query and build APIs while staying lightweight and easy to share.

Give the AXL run extension a try at https://t.co/Nvexa7TxR1

Thanks to great work by Alex Eagle @Jakeherringbone Eagle and Şahin Yort, AXL run includes a Runfiles-aware spawn utility, making it much easier to execute binaries built by Bazel with correct runfiles resolution across platforms.

No more brittle shell scripts or manual path manipulation — just clean, reliable execution semantics. Give it a try at https://t.co/Nvexa7TxR1

Better Bazel by Aspect Build: Packages, Rules, Targets, and Labels

https://t.co/CeToGbFiqQ

Learn the core concepts of packages, rules, targets, and labels in Bazel. Understand how packages group source and output files, how rules define how to build artifacts, the different types of targets, and how labels are used to reference them in commands or BUILD files.

Bazel support and platform. Build confidently with Aspect.

Bazel Buildifier Recommendations and Resources. https://t.co/WcY37fCCm3 It was originally created because the Go team at Google wanted to machine-edit BUILD files, but didn’t want to get into code reviews with teams who liked their hand-formatting of files.
