I've been learning some CMake, and it's a weird language. "ON" is used for booleans, it puts code in .txt files, but it still has a lispy macro system.

The vast majority of libraries have a single maintainer. Even if you weight by downloads, roughly half of downloaded libraries have a single maintainer too.
