This means the architecture is also bad, and that is what needs to be fixed.
so simple huh? since you fancy yourself an architect can you let me know how we might fix the architecture of https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project such that CMake is no longer needed?
I have to respect Jane Street for proving that HM-typed functional programming can be production-ready and extremely fast when given enough love. I still occasionally hear things about how the more academic-styled functional languages can't work in production, but Ocaml shows that it absolutely can work, even with high performance requirements.
The only thing worse than a complex codebase is a complex build system. I think CMake is an abomination. “Hey go learn this new language to compile this other language!”
The only thing worse than a complex build system is a simple build system that can't build what you need to build. :(

What percentage of JS programmers actually work on this stuff I wonder?

Standard Chartered also uses their variation of Haskell.

> more familiar Linux build systems What's a 'familiar Linux build system'? make?
They likely mean 'generally used with other languages'. make is an example.
