Did you just agree with me that other prog. ecosystems solved the building system challenge?

[trinix912]

They solved it by building on top of what C (or LLVM, to be precise) does, not by avoiding or replacing it.

What should C do to solve it? Add another layer of abstraction on top of it? CMake does that and people complain about the extra complexity.

[high_na_euv]

Bro, cmake is garbage. Having to debug cmske scripts is pain

Also how e.g dotnet builds on top of c or llvm?

Putting the crap is a box with a user friendly handle on it to make it look 'friendlier' is never 'solving a problem'.

It is barely hiding the dust under the carpet.
