Buck vs CLion

Buck vs CLion: What are the differences?

Buck: A build system developed and used by Facebook. Buck encourages the creation of small, reusable modules consisting of code and resources, and supports a variety of languages on many platforms; CLion: A cross-platform IDE for C and C++. Knowing your code through and through, CLion can take care of the routine while you focus on the important things. Boost your productivity with the keyboard-centric approach (Vim-emulation plugin is also available in plugin repository), full coding assistance, smart and relevant code completion, fast project navigation, intelligent intention actions, and reliable refactorings.

Buck and CLion are primarily classified as "Java Build" and "Integrated Development Environment" tools respectively.

Some of the features offered by Buck are:

• Speed up your Android builds. Buck builds independent artifacts in parallel to take advantage of multiple cores. Further, it reduces incremental build times by keeping track of unchanged modules so that the minimal set of modules is rebuilt.
• Introduce ad-hoc build steps for building artifacts that are not supported out-of-the-box using the standard Ant build scripts for Android.
• Keep the logic for generating build rules in the build system instead of requiring a separate system to generate build files.

On the other hand, CLion provides the following key features:

• Smart Editor
• Code Generation
• CMake

Buck is an open source tool with 6.82K GitHub stars and 1.02K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Buck's open source repository on GitHub.
