Quake: Bridging the Build System Gap

Software complexity has grown to outpace many of the build systems which support it. Modern applications require build-time features such as asset handling and cross-platform, multi-lingual compilation, but the tools used for these tasks rarely fit such a broad scope. quake addresses this issue head-on by offering an expressive, cross-platform build system compatible with any tech stack. We’ll also explore other popular build systems and techniques, as well as the challenges they face, to better understand our current landscape and what the future might hold.
