xmake-io/xmake has 12.3k stars and gained +43 of them in the last 30 days, a 0.4% change. It is written in Lua, grouped under devtools, released under Apache-2.0. Last pushed on 28 Oct 2026.
Star growth per time window: stars gained, growth percentage, the star count at the start of the period, and whether the figure was measured from our own two-hour intraday snapshots, daily snapshots, or GitHub’s rebuilt star history, for the last 6 hours, the last 12 hours, today, the last 7 days, the last 30 days, and the last year. A period with no current measurement is left blank rather than shown as zero.

A period with no current measurement is left blank: a delta needs a measurement at both ends of the period. The 6- and 12-hour periods need two intraday measurements exactly that far apart, the day-and-longer periods need snapshots on both dates, and the last year also needs star history from a year ago, which we keep for one year.

Stars: 12.2k when it entered our index, 12.3k on the last capture we hold (28 Oct 2026), so +39 in that span. That span is our own measurement window, not a claim about what happened before it.
Its most recent thread before Trending is more than 90 days older than that day, so the two are not the same story and we do not claim lead time.
We hold 54 mentions for it, the oldest dated 9 Apr 2019 and the first written into our database on 27 Oct 2026. Thread dates come from the source, not from when we fetched them.

The least painful C/C++ build tool I've used is xmake https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake The reason why I like it (beyond ease-of-use) is that it can spit out CMakeLists.txt and compile_commands.json for IDE/LSP integration and also supports installing Conan/vcpkg libraries or even Git repos. set_project("myapp") set_languages("c++20") add_requires("conan::fmt/11.0.2", {alias = "fmt"}) add_require…

Repositories in the same collection, of a comparable size (within 5× in stars) and from a different owner, that were discussed in the same threads. Same-owner projects are excluded because they are usually pieces of the same tool, not rivals. A repository also stays out if the two never met in a discussion.

Reddit (fetched when this page is opened)
A Reddit search for github.com/xmake-io/xmake runs while this page is rendered, at most once every 6 hours per repository. What it finds is stored in our database (25 posts per fetch, at most 200 repositories a day), so the numbers on this site can be reproduced later. Reddit's feed has no scores or comment counts, so none are shown.
