Interesting.
I've been messing for a while with my own boilerplate C++ project [0], since I got sick of having to recreate the CMake set up for every app I created. It's taken a lot of CMake magic to get it working and I'm still not totally happy with the config using ExternalProject_add to automagically deal with dependencies that aren't present.
I've been evaluating Hunter [1] and wondering whether to step over.
If I understand correctly, the big advantage of Bake is that it completely replaces CMake for dependency management (at least that's what I take away from the readme)?
