CMake is still clueless about its mission
I’m looking at Bill Hoffman’s cmake presentation during C++Now 2024 and I still feel like cmake is an increasingly bad solution for C++. It not only doesn’t respond to the needs of C++ developers, it keeps them in the dark ages of building makefiles in a very unclear and unstructured way, with an inconsistent language, because the cmake developers insist that they need to solve a different problem.
