Bootstrapping is something I care about a lot, too, and keeps me on GNU Autotools. Have you found any other options?

  Muon[1] is a reimplementation of Meson in C. You should really read the blog post that you are commenting on. 1: https://sr.ht/~lattis/muon/ https://sr.ht/~lattis/muon/

    > muon analyze - a static analyzer for meson.build files. Capable of doing type inference, checking unused variables, undeclared variables, etc. Whoa, that's fancy! That whole project seems neat, thanks for pointing it out

      It even has a debugger and an auto formatter. Meson is getting an auto formatter in https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/10971 https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/pull/10971.

      > type inference This means muon can fairly easily implement user-defined functions without making the language Turing complete. If they did this I would happily (re)consider switching from CMake.
