But the open source world has the resources to write new build systems (and ecosystems!) time and time again. This argument does not hold up.
- cryptonector 4y agoNot really. Some open source projects go back a long long time and have a large enough build system that rewriting it would require a lot of effort. Other open source projects are small enough that the simplest build system the author(s) could build was good enough.

What leads you to believe that writing new build systems is a popular hobby? I mean, cmake is the de facto standard for C++ projects and it has been for what? Over a decade? What does this tell you?
