so simple huh? since you fancy yourself an architect can you let me know how we might fix the architecture of https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project such that CMake is no longer needed?

Not in a glib response, no.

okay can you at least tell me how the architecture of https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project is "bad"?

That’s such an obnoxious tactic. It’s basically saying “Your point is invalid unless you can cut this Gordian Knot on the spur of the moment in an internet comment!”

It's less bad than the ill informed Dunning-Kruger opinion it rebuts.

Don’t worry Phillip, ignoring the bit where it isn’t a rebuttal at all, I know I’m not a smart person. That’s why I like simple builds!

It’s a logical fallacy; it doesn’t rebut anything.
