That sure is a dense abstract. Anyone got something more readable, maybe down to an ELI5 style?

Quite happy that the market leader is taking this step! Hopefully this will decrease the problems with lacking feature detection. I was surprised that the post doesn't contain any example user ag…

Latest commit from 7 months ago. Also, anecdotally I've heard it's not very user friendly in practice; more like a research prototype than usable software.

I guess we should shame you for being ignorant about human beings and the value of being kind. There are plenty of ways to point out ignorance without being unkind (and the grandfather comment is a ni…

I maintain that GitHub itself is actually an important reason that Git won out.

One of the important parts in the post seems to be that it is not just a C++ build system, there are many other tasks executed through the build system. In that sense, it seems like build2 isn't …

I have little doubt that Go is easier to get started with than Rust. However, I'm very skeptical that Go "scales" better on any other axis than onboarding new people quickly. Also not c…

Have you actually used Rust? I spend very little time (or code) on resource management when writing Rust code. And when I do, it's usually the compiler helping me understand an aspect of my desig…
