Theme proposal: Build systems/languages #21

Open JKrag opened 6 years ago

We have talked about this a number of times. The topic could also cover package management as this is often related.

@andersfugmann offered yesterday to do a deep dive in Make and some of the stranger tricks you can do there. I recall @mads-hartmann having offered to talk about Make as well years back.

I can easily find a presenter for Gradle. (@praqma-thi maybe?)

My thought was that it would be fun to see some of the more alternative ways build has been addressed in other ecosystems that had the privilege of starting from a clean slate, or have really cool build tools and package managers.

I am pretty sure I can get Praqma to sponsor a meeting on this topic.

I would love to do a presentation of make, including the more exotic features of make. A presentation of 'shake' (haskel build system, which if one of the most versatile systems out there I think) would really also be interesting in comparison to the 1970's make system. Maybe @jj-issuu (Jonas B Jensen) would volunteer to do that.

Microsoft released a paper 6 days ago where they compare Make, Shake, Bazel and Excel: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/build-systems-la-carte/
