Build2, a Cargo-like dependency and build manager for C/C++

The submission title is strongly misleading. From the page:

  Unlike most other programming languages that encapsulate the
  build system, package dependency manager, and project
  dependency manager into a single tool (such as Rust's cargo
  or Go's go), build2 is a hierarchy of several tools that
  you will be using directly and which together with your
  version control system (VCS) will constitute the core
  of your project management toolset.

From the actual home page (http://build2.org):

  Next-generation, Cargo-like integrated build toolchain for 
  C++.

Agreed that the title is misleading, but if you look at it does seem a bit like cargo in functionality. Which begs the question: why create this instead of using nix expressions?
