c++ development environment
#
#
Introduction
This describes my personal development environment. It focuses on productive C++-oriented development.
Goals
- portable development environment
- editor with LSP support
- Integrate compiled c++ libraries with python and jupyter notebooks.
- Communicate with browser-based front ends.
- Reliable and composable build system. Want it to be easy to introduce new libraries, with an arbitrarily elaborate dependecy graph
-
Reproducible builds.
- so it's easy to transfer/replicate development environment on another host
- to mitigate bitrot
- Unit tests with code coverage
- Continuous Integration (CI)
