Ah, we are from the same tribes! Let's go talk to the the bazel and to the vcpkg tribes. But what about the fact that cmake isn't a build system, also conan 2.0 was a bit rough the last I saw.. maybe thats why clion/intellij dropped support for it out of the box and now uses vcpkg?

I've been contributing some C++ packages to xrepo, which personally imo is the best of all worlds. c:

There is a Bazel tribe? I've heard it mentioned a couple of time but I have yet to encounter a C++ project I need to build which supports Bazel but not CMake. In fact, just _any_ Bazel support seems to me quite rare. Am I living in a bubble?

As for vcpkg - yeah, that's popular, for sure.

Daisy Hollman says she has "drunk the Bazel kool-aid" and is a big proponent of its usage outside Google.

Bazel is a project created by Google, and Hollman works for Google. So - perhaps the Bazel tribe is people working at Google? There _are_ quite a few of those....
