Bazel is indeed a great build system, but you should know that, at

it
will be impossible to ship Beancount v3 on those distros (and any
other
Debian-based distro) until Bazel itself is part of Debian. Work is
ongoing (see:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=782654
), but I'm unable to guess when it will actually happen.

I had a similar reaction to Bazel. My secret plan is to maintain a
parallel build system based on Meson. I did a quick reality check and
it
seems that all prerequisites can be build with Meson. I think Meson is
more non-developer and distribution friendly than Bazel.

Not that I imagine I will sway Martin on this, but count me among those
concerned that Basel is not (yet) available in Debian.
Personally, my concerns are less "non-developer" as Danielle mentioned
(you
can only help people so much anyway, and this is text based accounting
after all) and more along the lines of "distribution friendly" as Debian
based distributions are such a wide swath. Also, FWIW, "is it in
Debian?"
is one of my personal (heavy, in my case) criteria for weighing
software,
and I know a lot of others feel similarly.
Along those lines, I would argue that we are getting close to Martin's
own
criteria (I seem to recall reading somewhere) of "compiling on GNU/Linux
being good enough" here. Of course I realize that Debian != GNU/Linux,
however it's pretty close, and certainly for me they are ~=.
