Description

Page link:

https://bazel.build/rules/language

Problem description (include actual vs expected text, if applicable):

This page needs someone to read through and make it up-to-date with https://starlark-lang.org/spec.html.

Integers

Bazel says:

Int type is limited to 32-bit signed integers. Overflows will throw an error.

Starlark says:

Integers may be positive or negative, and arbitrarily large

Floats

Bazel says:

The following Python features are not supported:

  • float and set types.

Starlark says:

The Starlark floating-point data type represents an IEEE 754 double-precision floating-point number. Its type is "float".

Sets

Bazel says

The following Python features are not supported:

  • float and set types

Starlark says:

A set is a mutable, iterable collection of unique values - the set's elements. The type of a set is "set".

If Bazel does genuinely not support these features, then it should be made obvious that this is a Bazel-specific issue. Otherwise the information should be removed or corrected.
