Can you recommend a site that gives a (fairly) short history of CMake
that at least lists the most fundamental changes made to this software
since its inception? For example, I am pretty sure you have stated
before that it
did not start out as a C++ project. If so, when did it switch to C++?
I did look at <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cmake>, but the history
paragraph there includes nothing about the fundamental changes made along
the way in the development of CMake.
CMake has always been in C++. The idea was that all that would be
required would be a C++ compiler. With that, you could build CMake.
Since CMake was designed to build C++ projects, it was assumed that the
user would at least have a C++ compiler.
Should be some history these talks:

I don't think there is anything written.
