Hi, As someone who has a moderate amount of interaction with the build system, I just want to say that moz.build files are a real pleasure to work with, and *so* much nicer than Makefiles.
Things I particularly like include... - Having the declarative stuff (inputs and outputs) separate from the procedural stuff (how those inputs and outputs are processed) is great. - Having decent, sane syntax for simple things like building lists and conditional tests is wonderful. - Having good runtime checking that catches things like mistyped variable names is excellent. I remember there was quite a bit of discussion about the right format for moz.build files. I think the choice made has turned out very well.
