Any chance we could know what team this is? (Sorry if this is

It is the development team at my previous workplace. I haven't

for permission, so I would rather not say who they are.
David Bryant (the previous poster) was a member of that team
though, and
he will be happy to provide details.
I am still part of that team. We still use the early predecessor
of bub to build several projects from a large C++ codebase, but I
am looking forward to switching to bub at the end of the current
project.
For example, one project uses ~2000 cc/h files containing
~390,000 lines (before any code generation). After a successfull
build, running the build again takes about 2s to figure out that
everything is up to date. Knowing both build tools, I expect
that time to remain about the same after the switch to bub.
Yes, I have become a D advocate. Our production code is still
mostly C++, but a large part of our system-level testing is now
written in D (~15,000 lines). Bash scripts are becoming rarer
too. :)
