Gaspard Kirira

Founder of Softadastra and creator of Vix.cpp, focused on building practical tools for modern C++ development.

My work is centered on the parts of C++ development that become difficult when projects grow: structure, dependencies, builds, modules, diagnostics and the discipline required to keep software reliable across machines and teams. Vix.cpp is the main expression of that work today, and Softadastra is the company being built around a clearer, more organized C++ tooling ecosystem.

Work

Building tools around C++ project discipline

Vix.cpp

Vix.cpp is a modern C++ runtime for building fast and reliable applications. It brings project structure, modules and developer workflow into one place, so C++ applications can be created, organized and built with less friction.

Softadastra

Softadastra is the C++ tooling company behind Vix.cpp. Its direction is to simplify serious C++ development by creating tools that make projects easier to structure, maintain, diagnose and deliver.

Softadastra Cloud

Softadastra Cloud is the project operations platform for C++ teams using Vix. Vix works locally; Softadastra Cloud organizes the team layer around workspaces, private packages, lockfiles, build reports, diagnostics and permissions.

Focus

Why this work matters

C++ is powerful, but professional C++ projects often fail for reasons that are not directly related to the application logic. The build behaves differently across machines, dependencies are difficult to reproduce, internal libraries are hard to share, and teams lose time diagnosing problems that should have been visible earlier.

The goal of my work is to reduce that operational weight without hiding the language or pretending that C++ should behave like something else. The tools should respect the way C++ projects are built, while giving developers a clearer workflow for creating applications, managing modules, understanding diagnostics and preparing releases.

Notes on C++, tooling and software architecture

I write about the decisions behind the tools I build: how C++ projects are structured, how developer workflows become reliable, and how small design choices affect long-term maintainability.
