Hi!
In my hobby work on porting druntime to another architectures I
actively use Meson build system. It allows to build huge
heterogenous projects very conveniently without losing of control
over fine-tuning.
But at present there are a lot of D-related issues in the Meson.
In most cases this issues do not appear (many of us use meson
with D every day without problems), but when you start using
Meson to its fullest then issues become irritate require lot of
hard tricks to get around them.
Support of individual languages is not an biggest goal of Meson
authors, as I understand. In my experience they are rather to fix
and add functionality that applies to all supported languages ,
but not for some one rarely used. As a result, Meson contains
serious errors related to D that no one tried to fix.
I wanted to appeal to those who were lucky enough to know both
Python and D: please try to fix D-related functionality of Meson.
Thanks!
