The longer I'm in the industry, the more I hate build systems that use languages. Build systems should be declarative rather than imperative. If you need complex stuff doing, it should be done outside of the build system. make was sufficient (subject to a few minor changes). Rust - cargo.toml. That removes an entire tranche of problems with the language. Versus typical google queries - C++ "modern cmake" or java "how do I create a fat jar". No developer should have to spend their time messing around with build systems.
