Yes, we need 83714 build systems, no more, no less. That's the only way to improve the current software situation in the world. Just joking. Build systems are only worth it if they are tiny and already included in the repository (or so common that everyone has them, like make) so that when I build the project, all code necessary to build the project is built (please no download) and executed. Something like: build.sh executes `cc build.c -o build && ./build` which then builds the software; it's also pretty important that the build system is written in the same language as the rest of the project so that you don't add another dependency just to be able to build. The question is just whether you need that. Is your software really so complex that you can't just build it with a small script or Makefile?
