[Scons-dev] A challenge

[Russel Winder]

Hans Dockter and I were chatting at Groovy & Grails eXchange 2012
yesterday, in particular about the coming C and C++ support in Gradle.
It seems right for there to be a challenge SCons vs Gradle building C++
code.

Obviously SCons wins in the LaTeX, Fortran, D, etc. arena since Gradle
has no capability there. Gradle clearly wins in the Java, Groovy, Scala,
Kotlin, Ceylon space as SCons Java support is just, well let's be
honest, not up to it – due to conflicts between the way Java is built
and the SCons internal model which is C oriented.

So the question is what is the most suitable challenge that we can
arrange for say late 2013? (So that we can give results at Groovy &
Grails eXchange 2013.)
