Im not a fan of LUA. The syntax of XMake.lua reads somewhat like CMake but easier to understand. What I'd really like to see is a build system in Python (3!) utilizing objects and dictionaries for tasks like this should be a breeze.

Do you consider waf to meet that criteria? https://gitlab.com/ita1024/waf https://waf.io

Or scons? https://scons.org

Does waf still force you to be c++11/14?

I'll check it out, thanks.

Just out of curiosity, what parts of lua do you not care for?

Probably just bad experiences with it in the past and the lacking IDEs. e.g. PyCharm makes writing Python a breeze.
