Please excels in a mono-repo situation. We built Please because we struggled to get Buck to handle Python, Javasript, and Java while having protobuf code generation for all these languages.

Fast forward 5 years, now we're using Please to build all our code, generate hashes for docker images, template those hashes into our k8s .yamls, generate the documentation website from the docstrings in the proto files etc. etc.

With a language specific build system, you would have a lot of trouble handling things like this.
