Dear CMake devs/users,
I wanted to ask your opinion on something that has been troubling me since…
well, ever since I started using CMake. I have not found a single person alive

Hi Máté,
One way of doing would be to write a tool using whatever language you like,
reading an input script written in whatever language you like, that
generates cmake code. In such case, the modification to cmake would be
smaller but not that simple.
You can see this thread from the archive
How many people have I asked? We are a group of 5, and have several fellows who
have drifted off to companies each with their respective dev teams of 5-15
people. General tendency is that everywhere, there is 1 CMake guru, the rest
would be better off not touching the scripts, because they do
This all seems like a very good idea, and also like it will take an
enormous amount of time and effort. I'd like to help, but I have quite
limited available time these days. Let us know if there are specific
things you need help with in advancing towards an implementation of
these ideas.

Hi Nico,
thank you for the idea. That idea occured to me too, trying to generate the
CMakelists.txt script from the desired front-end. Having taken a deep dive into
XML schemas, hardcore people even criticise W3C XML Schemas for not having a
mathematical foundation which make it difficult
And I wouldn't give up just yet on building support for this into
CMake, if not building the entire thing into a future CMake. Perhaps
there are valid objections, or perhaps people just need convincing.

We really do not moderate the lists like that. If it is pending it is

Hi Máté,
There is some on-going work along the lines of separating out state.
See this thread for more information:

You may want to have further discussions on the cmake-developers list.
Cheers,
