I am, on and off, involved in developing SCons, but I am a bit less
biased than that might appear to make me as I mostly use Meson, Dub,
and Cargo, as well as SCons.

SCons is a replacement of Make, and Autotools, built with Python and
providing an internal domain specific language in Python for describing
builds. I really like it in some build contexts. The Debian people
appear to look down on SCons for some reason.

I stopped trying to build a Chapel build infrastructure on SCons when I
heard Mason was to be created. But it is easy to create a simple Chapel
build as long as you can specify the chpl command line.
