Nor is cmake even really a standard: after thirty-odd years writing C++, I've yet to work on a project which used it!

Of course CMake has only really been a practical tool for 20-ish of those 30-odd years, and "Modern CMake" was only published twelve years ago; it's definitely gained a lot of popularity over the last decade, but the idea that CMake is the default C++ build system, not just one among many, still feels to me like a recent change.
