Lightning Talk: What Does a CMake Developer Want From CMake?
summary
A grab bag of concrete requests: persistent typed variables so lists, paths and JSON keep their identity instead of re-parsing strings; a ninja-style rules code generator to avoid repetitive add_custom_command patterns and handle predictable outputs; a better Makefile generator and file sets (C++ modules, headers, resources) so build graphs are global and more parallel; an implemented source file sets prototype and a move toward declarative input while acknowledging no promises of timelines.
