Description

So we know other languages like C#, Java, Python, Rust, etc etc have standard toolchain, those are compiler, package manager, build manager, and some extra stuffs. Well... since both C and C++ doesn't _belong_ to anyone, so compilers, package mangaer, and build system are _wild_. For compilers, we have GNU GCC, LLVM Clang, MSVC, IntelOne, AMD AOCC, etc etc. But, what if, just **_what if_**, since LLVM have a compiler, _what if_ LLVM **also** have a build system? A build system that support package managers like vcpkg, conan, or manually installed? Since CMake sometimes is kinda overwhelming
