Meson's Wraps are pretty useful for including and building dependencies across different OSes.

We migrated netpanzer from Scons to Meson - that was a lot of work (which I didn't do), but it actually integrates with CLion now, builds on win/Linux easily, and builds fast with Ninja.

Scons wasn't that bad, though, I just feel like the build script being turing complete was a pain.

Also Meson doesn't want to just output a binary in your source root. It insists to put it in a build dir, unlike scons.
