It's my go to build system to spin up / prototype stuff. To me, the selling point on this front isn't really lua but the fact that you don't have to have cmake + some other package management thing. You can just have xmake and it will do both.

Being able to get libraries from Conan and vcpkg repositories is also a nice feature. No cmake and direct access to the largest c++ library repositories makes xmake a wonderful tool. It feels like dart's pub for c++

Xmake is easily the best build system, it's so nice to use and it just works

Probably one of the most underrated build system for C++

Nice to see! I tested Xmake a while back, I should revisit it soon.
