The irony of using “hype” to describe make/CMake/autotools while referencing Zig as an alternative example.
Building a build tool written in C or C++ requires a build tool — hence the existence of make/CMake/autotools, which can bootstrap themselves from a minimal environment.
- StreamBright 4y agoIf I was referencing Zig az the __only__ alternative I would agree. What I wanted to say is to use the same language / tool that your projects uses. Maybe it is impossible for C/C++ as some comments pointed out.
