I currently find known C/C++ build systems and package managers lacking. Maybe this is caused by the high bar by Cargo. Its nice to see something similar to Cargo in C/C++ ecosystem. vcpkg and conan are a pain in the ass in my opinion
Yup, Cargo is a good baseline to compare to. I don't get the CMake arguments since:
- xmake isn't trying to replace CMake
- xmake can create CMake files from an xmake project
- xmake can consume CMake files
- xmake can use CMake packages
- you can use xmake packages in a CMake project
- a lot of people quite obviously don't like CMake
It's working with the ecosystem, not against and is good for C++ especially since people are comparing C++ building with tools like Cargo now.
