Proud to start sharing Google's strategy for tackling our remaining memory safety challenges: https://t.co/qKlpCnGm4q

High level, but it outlines the long-term strategy. We'll be sharing more detailed posts in this series.

I'm not associated with Kitware, but maybe some of my followers may be interested in this open position working in a CMake-related role:

[Craig Scott @crascit]

The 19th Edition of *Professional CMake: A Practical Guide* is now available. One highlight is the new FetchContent behavior that avoids a sub-build (big potential performance gains!). Updated material for Qt 6.7 too. Get it from the usual place:

Some people seem to be incapable of seeing the commentary on the wastefulness of RAM and CPU resources in modern software development that the rest of us are trying to make.

[Jason Turner @lefticus]

Hey! It's the time of year where we tell @mattgodbolt , @partouf, and the rest of the @CompileExplore team how much we appreciate their work!

They have completely changed how we teach, prototype, and think about C++ (and 30 other languages!).

[Craig Scott @crascit]

Reiterating this, the upcoming CMake 3.30 release has a big performance improvement to FetchContent which started from one user taking the time and effort to provide benchmarks and a carefully researched bug report. It turned out to be hard to fix, but their effort motivated me.
