Hi Russel,

hard. Religious institutions seem to have their SEO well organised, hiding the
stuff we are really interested in.
That is unfortunate. I believe Brad has looked into some SEO-related
improvements lately. Hopefully that will improve over time.

That depends on how you intend to use Mason. If you're primarily using it as a
build tool to replace SCons, and are sticking to a pure Chapel project, I would
expect it to work pretty well for you. As Brian has mentioned, Mason only
deals with native Chapel packages currently. So if you need non-Chapel
dependencies for a package, you may need to wait until that is supported. You
can get a sense of the current functionality from the Mason documentation[1],
feature roadmap[2], or just by trying it out. If you pursue the latter, we'd
love to hear your feedback.
>Is Mason turning out to be Cargo but repurposed from Rust to Chapel?
Mason's design was influenced by Cargo among some other package managers. I
imagine it would be easy to pick up if you were already familiar with Cargo.

Hi,
Whilst I really like the humour (but not humor :-) of chapel, mason, bricks,
this is going to make searches using DuckDuckGo and other engines really quite
hard. Religious institutions seem to have their SEO well organised, hiding the
stuff we are really interested in.
I have to date been using SCons for building Chapel code, is the time now
right to switch to using Mason? Is Mason turning out to be Cargo but
repurposed from Rust to Chapel?
