C/C++ build systems are archaic if not broken. I literally wrote a compiler but still spend 15/20% of my development time trying to find the right not user-friendly CMake syntax, understanding while my Conan dependency broke overnight, or writing header files that could be automatically generated by the compiler (à la GHC).

To me that experience sums up pretty well, apparently you were learning on how to use cmake.

As for the headers, C++20 modules, or just use an IDE like Visual Studio and the respective wizards.
