Rig, the Zero Magic, Zero Dependency Build System

Announcement: https://yzena.com/2024/04/rig-24.04.00-has-been-released/ Okay, it's not zero dependency, but it does only need a C99 compiler and some way to run a command. (C11 preferred, though.) Anyway, after more than three years of work, Rig is finally ready because it can build itself on non-Windows platforms. (Windows support only needs to figure out how to access the compiler.) Rig's website: https://rigbuild.dev/ That website has the docs as well, but for anyone who can contact me [1], feel free to do so if the docs are not sufficient for…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

Announcement: https://yzena.com/2024/04/rig-24.04.00-has-been-released/ Okay, it's not zero dependency, but it does only need a C99 compiler and some way to run a command. (C11 preferred, though.) Anyway, after more than three years of work, Rig is finally ready because it can build itself on non-Windows platforms. (Windows support only needs to figure out how to access the compiler.) Rig's website: https://rigbuild.dev/ That website has the docs as well, but for anyone who can contact me [1], feel free to do so if the docs are not sufficient for how you want to try it; I will do my best to make Rig work for you as quickly as I can. FAQ: https://rigbuild.dev/rig-faq/ The FAQ will answer the questions I already thought of, including a lot of license questions, because Rig is not FOSS, but SAMS [2]. If I refer to Rig as FOSS somewhere, I'm sorry; it's historical accident. Tell me, and I'll fix it. Note that while Rig is a commercial project, everyone, including any company, is free to try it for 30 days, and as long as companies meet the criteria for contacting me, I am open to helping them with Rig for free for 30 days. Also included with Rig is Yao, a language that could be used to replace bash scripts with less bugs.

    Hi HN! I've posted this a few weeks back without much HN traction - today we've added a free community tier, so anyone can try it out. TL;DR: We’ve launched StableBuild, a new tool to easily freeze and pin Docker images, operating system packages, Python packages, and arbitrary build dependencies; in 5 lines of code: https://stablebuild.com . As the CTO at an ML startup w/ 75 people (https://edgeimpulse.com/) I’ve grown incredibly frustrated with non-deterministic builds. Last year basically every week one of our containers (we have 40+ unique ones in prod)…
