Now we need to banish CMake


Yeah, there is something deeply wrong about the whole thing... But what do we replace it with? (Out of desperation, perhaps, I even dreamt of a build system based on a C library, with the usage being, say,

  tcc -run mybuild.c
:)


People keep saying that, but of the systems I've encountered that use CMake they've worked the most predictably, as opposed to autotools, meson, scons, bazel, or heavenforbid ./build.sh

*WRITING* CMake is the 11th circle of hell, but CLion is gradually getting more support for it because they use(d?) it as the first-class project definition when it launched

I would pay good money for CMake 4.x to switch to skylark/starlark
