This past week I’ve learned more CMake than I (n)ever wanted to know. So this sounds still appropriate

@aras I end up using it every 10 years and reluctantly have to admit it’s the best tool in its domain, and that I don’t like that

@sinbad @aras I think that is down to how bad the competition is unfortunately…

@MouseByTheSea @aras there are some nicer to use alternatives but I always end up needing something they can’t do but CMake can

@sinbad @aras indeed, plus it’s reached critical mass pretty much, ie many open source projects provide cmake or nothing, and editors are also supporting it, which will make it hard to shift. Probably best to use a subset of cmake where possible, like c++ funnily enough.

@sinbad @aras @MouseByTheSea find_package is what always brings me back to CMake. There’s so much knowledge baked in those scrips. I couldn’t imagine writing cross platform code without it.

@jkaniarz @sinbad @MouseByTheSea curiously it's the find_package that was giving me the most trouble this past week (involves me building packages for platforms they were not designed to build on, so fair game I guess)
