This is awesome. I don’t know how they are able to add support for both old and new languages at the same time. But color me impressed. Xmake has become by go-to build tool.
@ruki, Features wise it looks great.
The idea of abstracting most common operations for different compilers (Like the optimization level) is great.
What I don’t find satisfying is the documentation. I find meson documentation to be clearer.
Also it would be great to define the defaults you set for each compiler.
TIL there is a new “xmake” that is completely unrelated to the old (X11) xmake. Wiki doesn’t even mention the old one – I started to think it never really existed, and I was experiencing the Mandela effect, but there is still some evidence here: https://freebsd.pkgs.org/11/freebsd-amd64/xmake-1.06_1.txz.html
I guess there are only a thousand possible project names.

We can apply

They are completely unrelated, just the same name.
