Bazel is a ground-up rewrite. Its not related to Blaze apart from naming. There was a skylark project aiming to combine the two over time, not sure how the progress is going on for it.

Bazel is the open-source name of Blaze. It's the same codebase. Blaze has a few Google-specific modules (e.g. integration with internal tools, some legacy Google-specific rules).

Skylark (renamed Starlark) is the extension mechanism. It's exactly the same in Blaze and Bazel.

Source: I work on Blaze/Bazel, and I'm the lead for Starlark.

Could you talk about why Blaze was renamed? I'm guessing it was for SEO reasons so you actually got correct responses outside of moma or whatever it's called.

For legal/trademark reasons.

And functionality (and architecture?); I started my career at Google, and am now at a mid-size place that uses Bazel and it's almost identical from an interface perspective

"Blaze" is littered all around the code base [0].
