I'm afraid you're confusing languages with build systems. Go seems to have a custom build system. Python also does. Vala does not have a language-specific build system (which is not good or bad per se). Bake ( https://launchpad.net/bake) is a simple build system catering to GObject/Vala, you should probably check it out. I've also commented on the post with more details.
By the way, I'm starting to doubt that the build systems as we know them are still relevant. Most of the complexity of build systems comes from customization and adaptation to the environment - e.g. detecting installation paths for different types of content, handling conditional compilation, etc. In the modern world of package managers it's not the developer who knows what should go where on any particular distro, it's the package maintainer for that distro. Perhaps we should move the complexity away from the build system into per-distro config files for the build system that done once and for all packages. 2013/4/8 Craig <webe...@gmail.com> > Happy Monday everyone, > > I wrote a brief comparison of Vala and Go (golang) that might be of > interest to some of you.
