LANGUAGES CXX)
```
Now we see even more syntax. Strings are quoted, white space doesn't matter [^3], and the name of the project is the first argument (positional). All the keyword arguments here are optional. The version sets a bunch of variables, like `MyProject_VERSION` and `PROJECT_VERSION`. The languages are C, CXX, FORTRAN, and CUDA (CMake 3.7+). `C CXX` is the default. In CMake 3.9, `DESCRIPTION` was added to set a project description, as well. The documentation for «command:`project`» may be helpful.

CMake doesn't care about white space, and you can add comments with the `#` character, but never put a comment inside the function call parenthesis.
