Looks like a great start. Using Rust and TOML configuration are good choices.

With a project like this where there are many (many) existing attempts to solve it, I think it helps to take a hard look at what exists today and design your solution to solve a specific problem you see.

Then you can pitch it that way to your first adopters too - something like “Basel, but with easier deps” or “CMake, but with config humans can understand”.

Thanks, that's great advice! I'll consider it. I've been meaning to update the readme for a while now, so this just gives me an excuse to do so. I think the most important thing to work on right now is compatibility. Obviously, people like OpenCV or Vulcan aren't going to switch, and so it should at least be easy for those who do to make the switch.
