""" People often ask me what is special about XMake and what are the advantages compared to existing build tools such as CMake and Meson. Why should I use XMake instead of CMake?

Let me talk about the features and advantages first, XMake has the following points:

   - Concise and easy-to-learn configuration syntax, non-DSL
   - Powerful package management, support semantic version, toolchain management
  - Lightweight enough, no dependence
  -  Fast, the build speed is as fast as Ninja
  - Simple and convenient multi-platform and toolchain switching
  - Complete plugin system
  - Flexible build rules
"""

Personally, I just love that it's not another DSL to learn
