Honestly, and I'm saying this with kindness, you are super hung up on Meson not having user-defined functions and their use of "Turing complete". Others have pointed out there are perfectly reasonable workarounds (external scripts and foreach loops aren't really that ugly), but you're just so miffed you refuse to consider them.
A lot of build systems won't support what you're asking here. Most don't do multi-stage builds, most don't have the concept of functions, many rely on external tools (autotools, pkg-config, etc). They're not "unfit for human consumption", which is pretty offensive to the people who chose Meson for their projects as well as Meson developers.
I get that you're offended by the situation. I might even agree with you in principle. But you're all over a Meson release thread, their 1.0 release thread even, shitting all over them, on Christmas Eve! Lighten up!
