Why yet another nix? about bramble HOT 5 CLOSED

Ah, thanks. I think I understand now.

It seems boiling a lot due to lots of new ideas, approaches (e.g. Skylark as nix frontend sparked my interest), new contacts, similar projects (both known and unknown ones), etc. So I'll rather wait a few weeks/months before it settles down 😉.

Btw. if you decided to also take a stab at packaging (not only a build system), feel free to get in touch with devs of @chimera-linux as they started quite recently developing their "build system" with some similarities (as well as dissimilarities) to Bramble. (disclaimer: I know the lead dev - an extremely experienced & capable person).

Btw. I always liked the way Ekam build system handles projects - see https://github.com/capnproto/ekam . Maybe another tiny source of inspiration for certain things.

Yes, I think so, but not at the moment, needs quite a bit more work.

Totally a fair question. Best place to get an understanding might be this comment thread: https://lobste.rs/s/g1tqfe/bramble_purely_functional_build_system

Happy to clarify anything in that thread, or happy to provide more info if that's insufficient.

Actually one more question - would be Bramble suitable for new projects to completely get rid of Makefiles, cmake, premake, and many other rather generic build systems (note pip, ... are not generic build/pkg_mgmt systems)?
