I should also mention that I'm starting work shortly on a new C++ and Python project for around 6 months, which also seems like a great time to dogfood the CC backend.

Fantastic. It's exciting to see this come to life. Thank you. I hope some other people will also give it a spin and contribute feedback. Anything else you need from the community, to help this come to fruition?

Just opinions, thoughts, use cases, etc - I don't want to build something that ONLY fits my workflows 🙂 I will say I'm pretty happy that if I can get this working, it ends up taking Docker out of the equation for my build system (on Github CI and on my personal computers). I currently put a lot of this tooling in Docker containers, but I've never really liked that too much
