Why not $toolname?

Here's a loose collection of reasons that I prefer werk to other similar tools:

• ninja: Too low-level, not nice to write by hand, very specialized for C/C++.
• scons: Very clunky in my opinion, annoying Python runtime dependency.
• meson: Hard to use, integrates poorly with other tools.
• rake: Ruby does not work on Windows.
• cargo xtask: Solves a different problem, running Rust code at build time.
• cargo script: Solves a different problem.
• cmake: Very hard to use correctly, extremely hard to debug.
• All the Java tools (gradle, maven, bazel): Too specific to Java projects, clunky, and hard to use.
