When I taught new hires about Brazil, the common response was to revile in horror that they’d have to learn (not their favorite language specific build tool). It didn’t take long, however, for most people to see its benefits and then get past that initial bias.

It cuts both ways though. Some people are too invested in Brazil to embrace any improvements other "favorite language specific build tools" have made in the last 10? years. So it stagnates. Python support was bad, but bearable mainly due to the herculean efforts of one guy.

Thank you, I knew people hate on Bolsonaro and the like and that the elections there are coming this weekend but that shouldn't be enough reason to want an entire country to "be gone". Suffice is to say that I was confused.

> But, FWIW, I actually like Brazil.

You mean the country, not the tool, right?
