To suggest that this is an effect of the language rather than various teams of different people building different tools at various points in times seems silly.

To suggest that this is an effect of the language rather than various teams of different people building different tools at various points in times seems silly. What other language hasn't had multiple build solutions that were each "the one solution" at some point in time, only to be supplanted later? How many build solutions are there for C++, or Ruby?
