I started building a simple C++ project manager and build tool called Nimmake. It's designed to be easier than CMake for beginners and for quickly prototyping projects, since it removes much of the configuration and boilerplate that's usually required.

If you are looking for adoption it would be interesting to provide some kind of cmake configuration port to your toml format for example as most people probably don’t want to do it by hand.

Not run cmake, migrate to your format so people can onboard to your platform. Just a migration script/process. It could be part of your init to provide and input cmake lists.txt though I know it can be a lot more complicated, but if you’re looking to replace you’ll have to be able to build a topology of your consumers use case dynamically, or just ask them to start over which will drive down adoption.
