@evan The best build system is the one that both works reliably and is maintained by someone else

@evan Could be worse, Could be Imake

@evan and often your own

@evan our glorious automation / their degenerate crutch
our noble patterns / their needless indirection
our great GNU extensions / their nonportable hacks
our ingenious recursion / their chaotic sprawl
our clever hacks / their illegible line noise

@evan doesn't have to be other people's. The things I saw. The things I _WROTE_

Still proud of 'em, NGL.

@evan I'll take that any day over other people's CMake files, autoconf files, Bazel files, random pile of bespoke shell scripts, or whatever other build-system-of-the-week they decide to inflict on me...
