On that note, be sure to include actually implementing Lua. > >If CMake went to Lua, presumably these IDEs would want to do the same > >things in Lua. > > That's indeed obvious, these IDEs would absolutely switch to LUA too. > Do they have a mailing list?

It's another thing to actually attempt it, and get pretty far to making it work. Finish schminish. I finished Chicken Scheme's build, to a professional level, and it got thrown out anyways.
