Agree to disagree I guess. I don't want to go to bat for JS, but I've done more than my share of C and C++ and Make, CMake, Autotools, etc are just fucking nuts

Agree to disagree I guess. I don't want to go to bat for JS, but I've done more than my share of C and C++ and Make, CMake, Autotools, etc are just fucking nuts, and that's ignoring the fact that they completely punt on package management. JS is painful by the standards of modern programming languages, but C and C++ are on the next level.
"Stockholm Syndrome" is the only way I can rationalize people vouching for C or C++ (or JS, to a significantly-lesser-but-still-not-negligible extent) build tooling.
