How do you find it simpler? From taking a quick look it appears to just be an API for invoking build steps, and the build script is itself a Zig program. I ask if it's really simple, because the JVM space went in the same direction with Gradle (build script = program) and by the time it gets more sophisticated that can turn out to be pretty painful. In particular, IDEs struggle to get the information they need, scripts can become highly complex, and there are various other problems.
