This is a tangent, but CMake is incredible for building cross-platform C++. I had a project a year or two ago that was developed as a .so for Linux, using CMake simply because I like it. When I went to go build a Windows .dll, I rolled up my sleeves and expected to have a bad day. `cmake -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64"` just went ahead and made a Visual Studio project from my source tree, and that project built and worked first try. I was using all C++14 stuff like std::lock, std::thread, etc, and there wasn't a single #ifdef required in the entire project. Amazing!
