But to miss-paraphrase Winston Churchill [1]:
"Autotools is the worst build system except for all the others."
Is there really something better out there?
Fbuild, Waf, Meson, GN, Boost.Build, Tundra, Bam, ...
Is there anything Javascriptey? Python needs to move to web. I heard something about Grunt, which was replaced by Gulp, but no idea if they really mature enough to include "system features detection" and "user configured builds" (or work with C/C++ compilers at all).
What does "Python needs to move to web" to do with it's build system being "Javascriptey"?
Because things like Twisted are de-facto standard in JavaScript world (Node.js), and Python will benefit more if people look for how things are implemented in non-C worlds. -- anatoly t.
