[CMake] CMake and Lua => DSL!?

[Reinhold]

Hello everyone,

Sorry for the quick interruption, but somehow I have the feeling this
discussion will start again and again and again, if it has ever appeared
to end. Here are my two cents...

IMHO there might be a misunderstanding concerning Kitware's CMake
strategy: It is a domain specific language (DSL) for -- as this might
indicate -- one specific purpose and therefore, by intention, not a
general purpose (scripting) language; thus it concentrates correctly on
its (single & powerful) core task/challenge. An estimated set of 7% of
CMake's language commands covers about 97% of the usual cases. (Note
that I have not even thought about thinking about this numbers.) 

Please accept this as an almost completely serious "feed to a never
ending (?) discussion",
