[Scons-dev] SCons and Conan: an issue for when GitHub issues are ready

[Russel Winder]

JFrog seem to be putting a lot of support into Conan as a way of creating for
C and C++ the equivalent of Cargo for Rust – integrated build and dependency
management. They are emphasizing integration with CMake, which works for
anyone using CLion as an IDE or CMake directly, but doesn't for anyone using
Meson or SCons.

Given Conan is a Python-based system, it ought to be reasonable, though not a
small project, to integrate SCons and Conan. (An awful lot easier that trying
to integrate SCons and Dub for D builds, though.)

With C++2a likely to finally bring modules to C++, not to mention metaclasses,
integrating SCons and Conan is likely to be a Good Thing™.
