> Does anyone know of anything better than Make?

Xmake https://xmake.io/ for C and C++ (I haven't use that for anything serious yet) and Buck 2 https://buck2.build/ if you need a really complex build system. Both of these do caching of build artifacts and can do distributed builds (with less and more complex setup).



Yeah I've been following Buck2. Definitely interesting.

Xmake looks interesting too (even though I hate Lua). I wonder why it isn't more popular - I don't think I've seen a single project use it.
