This statement alone automatically eliminates any credibility from what you said. CMake was revolutionized with CMake 3.0, which was released in 2014. Since then CMake became a radically different build system, and got so many things right it became the de facto standard.
Also, CMake is a build system generator. It's just a high level specification that generates build systems that you pick, like make, ninja, even visual studio and Xcode.
- Rochus 4y agoI started to use it when I used VTK in the early 2000; I closely followed all of its lifecycles, including all pipe dreams; and thank you so much for teaching me about build systems.
- simplotek 4y ago> I started to use it when I used VTK in the early 2000; Irrelevant. The whole point is that cmake 3.0, which was released in 2014, is an entirely different beast. See "modern cmake". It makes no sense at all to argue thing about stuff just because you used something two decades ago. Totally irrational.
