Back to 2015-proposals
Title: SCons
Proposer: Russel Winder
Type: Presentation
Duration: 90 mins
Description:
Make was a revelation and revolution in 1977. But with time it's limitation became apparent. Autotools and
CMake have tried to keep it relevant to modern build, but these are really “sticking plasters” on a system
past it's time. SCons, a Python-based system, shows that internal domain specific languages (DSLs) are the
future for build. SCons comes ready for C, C++, D, Fortran, LaTeX builds out of the box and there are tools
for many, many other languages including Java.
JJ: again Russel says this could be a 1 day or 0.5 day workshop.
