[Hello71]

Meson developers are highly opinionated regarding what "should" and "should not" be supported, and aggressively block anything that might be considered, or even lead to "badness". Sometimes this is justified, but it makes one's job very difficult if one disagrees with them. For example, they insist on completely integrating Rust into the build framework, but also (apparently) don't have the manpower to actually implement that, so, coupled with the fact that extending the language is impossible from within the language, practical Rust (i.e. any dependencies, any Cargo use at all) is difficult to impossible.
