Funny, when I posted bake on reddit, I got the exact same reply: https://www.reddit.com/r/cpp/comments/a8d7ny/meet_bake_a_new...

The comic suggests that bake tries to replace all other build systems with a single, unified approach. That is not the case. Bake is a standalone tool, and does not use or depend on other build systems (unless you consider a compiler a build system).

TBF the comic is very appropriate and spot on.

Is this because you feel there is already a lot (perhaps too many) other build tools around?

I was trying to remember where I'd last seen this comic and now I think that reddit is indeed exactly where I saw it about a week ago. Coincidence, same project thread.
