Kythe, a pluggable, language-agnostic ecosystem for building tools that work with code

If it helps save someone else the 337M download, https://github.com/kythe/kythe/releases/download/v0.0.76/kythe-v0.0.76.tar.gz mysteriously omitted the linux-x86_64 from its filename

Due to my aforementioned experience with bazel, I'll just assume that's the only platform it supports

Is Kythe still alive? It powered (and perhaps still does) Google's internal code search, though I've always found its architecture to be overly complex. For personal use, cquery (2017) was a breath of fresh air, eventually leading me to develop ccls.

The entirety of the Google team working on Kythe was laid off in April 2024, as part of a company push to move certain roles overseas.

I worked in the same org under the same director/VP, and I can verify that most of (if not entirely) Kythe team was indeed laid off.
