Ask HN: How do you explain the inability of the CMake crowd to explain CMake?

[eimrine]

Inability to understand an existing explain?

In other words, it's something like monads: everyone who learns what they are truly capable of suddenly loses any way to put their knowledge into words as they have tapped into the dark and hidden secrets of the universe. You can only feel what it is but neither hear nor speak it. CMake is the same but more eldritch rather than phenomenal cosmic power.
