It does not allow the developer rudimentary constructs which almost all other languages have. But because CMake’s language is astonishingly flexible I was able to create a lexer and parser and interpreter for a custom 100 % compatible syntax which (once “JIT transpiled”) is also fast. I call it cmakepp expressions or expr for short. I want to emphasize that all of this is written in 100% compatible cmake code and you can use it without the need to preprocess any cmake files or adding any dependencies (except cmakepp).</p>
