My work uses this and it's slooooooow. Would not recommend.

the command file generator is usually last to blame for a slow compile, making it output a cmake/ninja/make project would not speed up a poorly structured compilation tree at all

I don't believe xmake is a command file generator, is it?

it has a feature to output such files, see https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake?tab=readme-ov-file#generat...

is that so? my experience's quite good

It's fast. I don't know if they are conflating the actual compiler being slow with xmake executing it.
