I feel the same way, especially about build systems. OpenSSL and v8 are among a large list of things that have horrid build systems. Only way to build them sanely is to use some randos CMake fork, then it Just Works. Literally a two-liner in your build system to add them to your project with a sane CMake script.

I was part of a Nix migration over the past two years, and literally one of the first things we checked is that there was already a community-maintained tensorflow+gpu package in nixpkgs because without that the whole thing would have been a complete non-starter, and we sure as heck didn't have the resources or know-how to figure it out for ourselves as a small DevOps team just trying to do basic packaging.
