Xmake: A modern C/C++ build tool

1. xmake

   1 167 10,758 9.9 Lua

   🔥 A cross-platform build utility based on Lua

   

   Looks very full-featured, surprised I haven't heard of it. Might finally realise simple (Apple-based) command-line builds for macOS/iOS:

   Including signing. It still relies on xcode of course, but if you don't actually need to use xcode to configure or build, that's a big plus.

   Now if only MS would fix VSCode[0] :'(. Come on, the feature if more than half a decade old and this point.

4. llama.cpp

   3 876 77,010 10.0 C++

   LLM inference in C/C++

   

5. pixi

   4 14 4,062 9.9 Rust

   Package management made easy

   

   re: C/C++ development: anybody using conda/pixi for dependency management? Here's an example of compiling a C++ SDL program using pixi and the SDL dependency from conda-forge [1].

   Seems viable as a replacement for things like vckpg [2] which only builds from source.

   I'm still researching this but it seems like rattler [3] is the tool to use to build/publish packages. The supported repos are: prefix.dev's own hosting, anaconda.org, artifactory or a self-hosted server.
