That's going a bit far, and is fighting talk. But let's not even think
about that argument here. :-)

SCons, and I believe Meson, are also able to do mixed language builds
very well.

I started a Dub add-in to SCons to handle dependencies but I got
disheartened by the naming strategy of Dub's build of dependencies and
gave up. I'd be happy to restart work on D support for SCons if it had
any chance of being used, and SCons Dub support if there was a
deterministic algorithm for finding Dub builds.
