@surma @jaffathecake Very cool stuff! I'm a big proponent of build systems and I've always been frustrated with how web devs seem to couple bundlers and build systems together into a single tool, when they are completely different concepts. Would love to see more build system usage in the web space!

On the #Bazel front, I happen to be working on #rules_prerender, a ruleset for doing static site generation in Bazel, built on top of #aspect_rules_js.

https://github.com/dgp1130/rules_prerender/

It's maybe 90% feature complete towards 1.0, but unfortunately not yet documented. I've been distracted and haven't had the time to builds the docs site (examples are more thorough if you can follow what they're doing).

I don't know if that would be useful for you, but I figured it tied in with the web + build systems + Bazel theme so it might be interesting to you.

After a lot of work, I've finally landed a release of #Bazel #rules_prerender which is compatible with #aspect_rules_js! https://github.com/dgp1130/rules_prerender/releases/tag/releases%2F0.0.17

This has been a long time coming, and the issue shows how big a change this was (https://github.com/dgp1130/rules_prerender/issues/48). It didn't help that I kept getting distracted with other things and forgot everything I was doing. 😅

#aspect_rules_js does seem like a solid improvement and it sets up #rules_prerender for a lot of awesome improvements in the future (#ESM, #bzlmod, better bundling, etc.) Super excited about where we can take this next!

Shout out to @alexeagle and Greg Magolan (who I don't think is on Mastodon?) for their help, couldn't have done it without you!

Release 0.0.17 · dgp1130/rules_prerender

Upgrades @rules_prerender to use @aspect_rules_js under the hood instead of @build_bazel_rules_nodejs (see #48). This means applications need to use @aspect_rules_js-ecosystem rules such as ts_proj...
