#2I think a syntax example on the homepage would be a good idea. Also comparison charts for things like cmake, ninja, meson, and bazel. If you have a dependency finding strategy, highlight the pros and cons of that. Basically the only reason states for why I should use this is lua, and that’s not inherently compelling to me for build tooling.

#3At my work we use MSBuild and vcpkg. What would a transition from that to XMake be like?

Then you are already using XMake (albeit a different one than OP), it's the original codename for MSBuild, still present in the code: https://github.com/dotnet/msbuild/blob/main/src/MSBuild/XMak... :)

Your phrasing could confuse readers: MSBuild happened to historically have XMake as a codename but is entirely unrelated to the build system known as XMake.

As far as I am aware, there no integrations available with Visual Studio, and not sure about C++20 modules and import std support.

> not sure about C++20 modules and import std support
XMake supports both.
