Improvements to bazel.io. * Move sidebar nav on docs and community pages to left side so that the sidebar shows at the top of the page in mobile. Improve appearance of sidebar nav. * Highlight navbar link depending on current page. * Switch Markdown renderer to Redcarpet to enable Pygments highlighting of fenced code blocks (```python etc.) such as on Skylark Cookbook page. * Change ```build to ```python on Skylark cookbook page. * Minor aesthetic tweaks to Install page * Make style of Feedburner widget consistent with rest of page. * Remove use of site_root from layouts and pages since it is no longer necessary after kchodorow@ added JS to redirect from github.google.com/bazel to bazel.io -- MOS_MIGRATED_REVID=92494349
{Fast, Correct} - Choose two
Bazel is a build tool that builds code quickly and reliably. It is used to build the majority of Google‘s software, and thus it has been designed to handle build problems present in Google’s development environment, including:
A massive, shared code repository, in which all software is built from source. Bazel has been built for speed, using both caching and parallelism to achieve this. Bazel is critical to Google's ability to continue to scale its software development practices as the company grows.
An emphasis on automated testing and releases. Bazel has been built for correctness and reproducibility, meaning that a build performed on a continuous build machine or in a release pipeline will generate bitwise-identical outputs to those generated on a developer's machine.
Language and platform diversity. Bazel's architecture is general enough to support many different programming languages within Google, and can be used to build both client and server software targeting multiple architectures from the same underlying codebase.
