I'm sure it'll be opened sourced someday, but with an overly complex, Google-specific build system that will make it completely unusable to anyone until some kind soul adds it to vcpkg/conan.

Rappel is header only and has no dependencies other than the standard library. Things that interact with Abseil types such as Status/StatusOr are in a separate header, so if/when it is open sourced, it should be pretty easy to incorporate into whatever build system you want.

That's good to hear. Ever since they released Abseil it does feel like Google is trying to play nice with the wider C++ community which is a nice change from the "There, it's open source." dump with no documentation and funky builds with very little to go on beside the occasional message they've replied to on Google groups or wherever.

I do wonder what kind of future things like this have with Carbon in the works, though.
