    The Meson Build System

    • I really want to like Meson, but with the lack of user-defined functions [0, 1] (even restricted) it seems difficult to use it for larger projects.

    How do people handle repetitive patterns in practice? By extending Meson itself?

  • xmake

    🔥 A cross-platform build utility based on Lua

    • I prefer [XMake][1]. From my experience XMake > Meson > CMake.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
