Exactly. When evaluating a language / build system / whatever, it is definitely not sufficient to look at Hello World. You have to evaluate the worst case and average case if you want to get an idea of what you're in for. Looking at the "best case" (simple one-file project) tells you almost nothing except how hard it is to get started.
