I have a couple of questions relating to the current build system (GN with the GM.py wrapper) used for V8.
* Why was the decision made to switch from GYP to GN? * Why was GN chosen over other build systems, such as Google's own Bazel? * How smooth was the transition? * What are some of the unique use cases of V8 that GN/GM handle? * What are all the requirements a new build system would have to have before the V8 team would consider porting to a new build system? I'm currently studying differences in build systems (just for my own curiosity), and I wanted to get a sorta 'behind-the-scenes' look at the build system of a very large software project like V8.
