As a C++ developer, not having to deal with cmake et al again is not the worst argument for using another language. Not a major one (cmake is servicable after all, just annoying), but one. Don't see how arguing with better tools is "childish" and "sabotaging".
- plaguepilled 4y agoTo me, the issue is the construction of the argument, and the context. Cmake has flaws but unless the fish devs have explicitly complained about them, I would say it doesn't make sense to bring it up (note: maybe they did, which would invalidate what I've said and make me look a bit silly). However, we know security will affect them (since they're a shell interface) so that does make sense to mention. But, between cargo and cmake, I agree I will always pick cargo.
- steveklabnik 4y ago> Cmake has flaws but unless the fish devs have explicitly complained about them The comment you're complaining about was made by the fish devs. It is them saying that.
- plaguepilled 4y agoWell! I GROSSLY misread the situation then. My earnest apologies.
- steveklabnik 4y agoIt happens to the best of us :)
