Wow true. Claiming to be a build system yet being limited to JS... Apparently, the legions of JS developers think the web is the only thing that exists today.

That's very unfair to JS devs. We're well aware that other things exist...
...because we're trying to replace them all with JS.

As if all JS developers can be grouped into a single entity with the same thoughts. This sounds a bit like saying "the legions of Makita Tools carpenters think" or "the legions of Volvo truck drivers think".

We'll get there eventually! Adding support for other languages in Rust is a very long process.
They only fully support Javascript. The complex stuff, like defines, C++ toolchain, dynamic libs, etc.. is all out of scope.
