I don't understand. To do that you just need to pass the subdir with your CMakeLists.txt to add_subdirectory(). Exactly which problems did you experienced?

6 years of your life is a price that's pretty steep. Some crimes have prison sentences shorter than that. I wouldn't call that free.

It's reasonable to assume that compilation times can go down if you decide to forego compile-time features (i.e., templates). However, C++'s standard library is a productivity blessing. I'm not convinced of the advantage of r

Eigen is an absurdly template-intensive library, and people use it because so far there is nothing better or even remotely comparable to it. If you use Eigen but somehow feel that compilation time is your focus instead of actually doing lin

Can you provide a single example that supports your thesis that migration from Python 2 to 3 was poorly managed semver-wise? If anything, Python is chastised for having maintained two major versions in parallel without giving any compelling
