Create
Start a C++ application from a known project structure instead of assembling the layout manually each time.
Project
Vix.cpp
A modern C++ runtime for building fast and reliable applications.
Vix.cpp exists because C++ projects need more than source files and a build command when they begin to grow. A serious project needs structure, dependency discipline, reproducible builds, clear modules and diagnostics that help the developer understand what is happening before the project becomes fragile.
Purpose
Why Vix.cpp exists
C++ gives developers control, performance and long-term stability, but the project workflow around the language can become difficult to manage. Dependencies are often installed differently on each machine, CMake configuration can become hard to reason about, and teams lose time fixing build problems instead of improving the application.
Vix.cpp is built around the idea that a C++ project should have a clear local workflow. The developer should be able to create a project, declare its modules, install dependencies, build it, test it and diagnose its environment without turning the project into a collection of disconnected scripts.
Workflow
A local workflow for C++ applications
Declare
Describe the application, its modules, sources, resources, links and dependencies through Vix project files.
Install
Resolve and install dependencies with a lockfile so the project can be restored more predictably.
Build
Build the application through a workflow that keeps the project model and the generated build system connected.
Diagnose
Use diagnostics to understand configuration, dependency and environment problems before they become release issues.
Commands
Minimal command flow
The Vix workflow is designed to stay close to the terminal. The goal is not to hide the C++ toolchain, but to make the project easier to operate from one consistent entry point.
vix init my-app
cd my-app
vix add rix/rix

Part of the Softadastra tooling ecosystem
Vix.cpp
The local runtime and project workflow for C++ applications. It focuses on project structure, modules, dependencies, builds and diagnostics.
Rix
The unified userland library layer for Vix.cpp. It provides common building blocks that make application code more consistent across Vix projects.
Softadastra Cloud
The project operations platform for C++ teams using Vix. Vix works locally, while Softadastra Cloud organizes the team layer around projects, packages, lockfiles and reports.
Creator
Created by Gaspard Kirira
Vix.cpp is created by Gaspard Kirira as part of Softadastra’s work on modern C++ tooling. The project is developed with a focus on practical workflows, readable structure and long-term reliability.
