Is there any plan that rework the whole bazel project with golang?

Short answer is: No.

Do you have specific issues with our implementation? In the past, some users complained about having to install a JVM, and we fixed that. There were also issues about the binary size, but it improved a lot. If you have other problems, please let us know!

@HuKeping What is the advantage of rewriting bazel in golang?

Java is dead, long live go

Short answer is: No.

@laurentlb It looks nice, but can it run without JDK?

You don't need to install a JDK to run Bazel (it's embedded in the binary, so it's just an implementation detail).
