>The fact you (probably) never had to manipulate it directly just mean your higher level work never brought you deep enough where it starts to be a problem.

Did you just agree with me that other prog. ecosystems solved the building system challenge?



They solved it by building on top of what C (or LLVM, to be precise) does, not by avoiding or replacing it.

What should C do to solve it? Add another layer of abstraction on top of it? CMake does that and people complain about the extra complexity.


Bro, cmake is garbage. Having to debug cmske scripts is pain

Also how e.g dotnet builds on top of c or llvm?

Putting the crap is a box with a user friendly handle on it to make it look 'friendlier' is never 'solving a problem'.

It is barely hiding the dust under the carpet.
