It just struck me that one of SCons bigger problems is the "feeling"
out there that dependency configuration is hard with SCons. Meson has a
very similar system in many ways, but it feels lighter weight and
easier to use.
Also building configuration files. Again SCons can do it, but Meson
makes

There are others out there. Dub is not universally liked as a build
tool, there are SCons, Meson and CMake

Hi Russel, hi Jean-Baptiste,
thanks a lot for starting and chiming in on this topic, which I think is
an important one. When I read Russel's other (opinionated) post about
how D is likely to gain more ground than Rust/Python in the future, I
asked myself: What can we possibly do to support
Hi list,
This is mainly directed at Russell, but I hope he and I are not the only one
willing to build D code with SCons.
I have a pet project of mine[1], mainly to scratch 2 itches:
- learning D
- helping me with managing my time
I started using dub as the build system for it but started
Hi,
The current D support in SCons is really there to support mixed D and
C++ software rather than being the best way of handling solely D codes.
Also SCons focuses on the build case where all the source is in the
project and all dependencies are available natively on the platform.
Like Rust,
