Just to add more baking soda to that fire, one thing that the CMake 
language has that others don't, is an anal retentive IF(CONDITION) .. 
ENDIF(CONDITION) paradigm.  For builds, I consider this an advantage.  
Now seeing as how all other popular languages, and even most unpopular 
ones, would do away with that....

I think asking "Can't I do it in some other language?" is tantamount to 
"I don't wanna hafta learn CMake.  Do I hafta?  Really?"  I find that by 
the time I've learned the darned thing, I'm more interested in the fact 
that it works, than what language I'm using.  I also think build systems 
have inherent things you have to learn about and deal with, that don't 
have anything to do with languages or general programming capabilities.
