    Bake, A build system for building, testing and running C & C++ projects (by SanderMertens)

    I agree in case of cmake, but not in case of e.g. meson (or all other build systems the specification files of which are not scripts). But we also have to keep in mind that JSON is just the basic syntax, but the interesting stuff is built on top; it's like XML, which - as we know - can quickly become human unreadable and complex; JSON has simpler constructs than XML of course, but what you do with JSON is even though subject to specific usability assessment; a specification language is not automatically more usable because it is based on JSON. And also the other contemporary build systems abstract e.g. compiler differences away. I would compare your approach to e.g. Qbs or https://github.com/SanderMertens/bake.
