They didn't. Things like Conan and vcpkg exist for almost a decade by now.

This, also my goal wasn't necessarily to replace existing tools, but to fill a gap. "If it isn't configured in TOML it isn't worth using" is something that I've heard, whether or not you agree.

It isn't very good in its current state, but by combining two essential tools into one, I hopefully make it easier.
