i switched to cmake yesterday, and life is somewhat easier since.
Makefiles are still cool though.

And today, I just found out that clang/LLVM had 17 whole percents of usage in the world! It's awful !!!!
I mean, yes, the err messages are friendlier, (does it really compile faster?), but that's it! GCC (only speaking about C ofc) got awesome code optimizations, very portable.

The one and only reason I'm using GCC for my projects (my engine) and not smth niche like TCC (my favorite compiler!) is that GCC with MinGW is giving out "glext", something WINDOWS ISNT DOING I HOPE U GET SICK WDDM TEAM!

I also keep wondering about using LCC (the one used in Quake3), compcert, icc (intel compiler, optimizing for certain CPUs).

I have a tcc fetisj too. You can have executable C source files. While I can't imagine a use case, so cool!

Cmake made life easier? Never heard someone say that :p I don't understand that thing at all. Wish that it was more like cargo or pip or something (yes, I know those are very different) but I like both. No idea what people don't like about pip.

@whimsical pip is heavy as fuck and its python

and for CMake :

just more portable on windows than MakeFiles

TCC is usable everywhere and i use it on linux apps, every single one
