What Hacker News says
2 sourcesThis looks extremely interesting to me for the following reason: End of last year I started to write a new C++ 3D engine from scratch. It consists of a flat soup of modules, each compiled to a static library. Modules depend on other modules. For an app, pick and choose the modules you need, dependencies are resolved automatically in the build system, and everything is linked together into one exe. For extensibility and 'decentralisation of ownership', it should be possible to setup modules in separate git repositories, and it should be possible that modules can depend on modules in other git repositories. At the same time, external modules should come as full git repos, it should be possible to work on them and commit/push changes. I looked at git submodules, git subtrees, and Google's git-repo, and they're not quite the right thing. In

the end I postponed the idea until I either find a better solution, or start writing my own 'external module manager', peru could just be the right solution.
