I think people are just gonna realize the best build conf/file is a real-yet-simple language (Go?) whereby features are built as libs to depend on. I have built a couple of more complex cross-platform build scripts this way. We're developers, why can't we treat our build scripts like the rest of our code? (granted cargo is a great middle ground, but language specific)
