I am strongly of the view that c++ needs a standard tool for build, IDE project generation, toolset selection, dependency management, testing and deployment. I find it deeply disturbing that one cannot simply write a project that pulls in 3 or 4 libraries and then cross-compile it for any target with one command.
FWIW, the C++ standards committee is in the process of setting up a new Study Group for Tooling. Titus Winters will be the chair. I suspect it will initially focus on tooling to support P0684 *C++ Stability, Velocity, and Deployment Plans *(See https://wg21.link/p0684), but it is a sign of increased interest in the whole C++ ecosystem. --Beman
