And thanks to you for coming up with such a useful tool in the
first place!

Can you recommend a site that gives a (fairly) short history of
CMake
<br>
that at least lists the most fundamental changes made to this
software
<br>
since its inception? For example, I am pretty sure you have
stated before that it
<br>
did not start out as a C++ project. If so, when did it switch to
C++?
<br>
I did look at <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E"
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cmake"
moz-do-not-send="true"><https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cmake></a>,
but the history
<br>
paragraph there includes nothing about the fundamental changes
made along
<br>
the way in the development of CMake.

CMake has always been in C++. The idea was that all that would be
required would be a C++ compiler. With that, you could build
CMake. Since CMake was designed to build C++ projects, it was
assumed that the user would at least have a C++ compiler. <br>
<br>
Should be some history these talks:<br>
