Session Proposal: Get GYP Gud

[bnoordhuis]

Abstract: GYP is dead and we're stuck with the corpse. It's starting to smell. What do we do?

Format: Bilbao summit; 15 minute talk, followed by 45 minutes discussion. Talk covers how we got here, previous attempts at moving away, quick overview of alternatives, biggest roadblocks (as I see 'em.)

Target audience: everyone who hates the build system as much as I do. I expect a huge turnout.

Is this about moving away from GYP for native addons, for the Node.js build, or both?

[bnoordhuis]

Both, although the outcome may be that we're only going to tackle one.

👍 Sold!

That sounds interesting 👀

I regret that I won't be able to attend due to upcoming surgery of one of my kids. Hopefully next year.
