  7. Rake

    A make-like build utility for Ruby.

  8. cmake_format

    Source code formatter for cmake listfiles.

    There's a cmake-format project with some linting features, but it's hard to add the checks to clean up the biggest CMake antipatterns because relevant solutions tend to be more opinionated in one direction or another.
