The makers of Dub chose to invent a new build tool despite Make, CMake and SCons. Although it is clear Dub is the current de facto standard build tool for pure D codes, there is nothing wrong with alternate experiments. I hope we can have an open technical discussion of these points, it can only help all the build systems with D support. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:[email protected] 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: [email protected] London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
