Latest meson 0.60.0 was another little hold-up See: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/9441 That should be fixed with 0.60.0-2 (released a few h ago)

Python update to 3.10
Also if you use user wide python programs such as meson you should install them with the corresponding pip version. As of now there isn't a python310-pip package. So for user wide package installs you might have to create a venv and activate that venv in your .profile or when you need to use said package

Other languages
Meson has limited support for Rust, you might want to give it a try. The worse limitation is the inability to use external crates (#2173).

I don't get how to structure a project using cmake?
The CMakeLists.txt files can be replaced by the equivalent of whatever else system you're using. You can checkout Meson as a more modern and sane build system, CMake is mostly (personally I'd say only) used because it's (sadly) the defacto standard and can be consumed by most projects/IDEs. If your project is large enough that you want to split it into components simply have each in a directory and add_subdirectory them in your top level CMake file. For example:

The Rise of Meson
I really want to like Meson, but with the lack of user-defined functions [0, 1] (even restricted) it seems difficult to use it for larger projects.
How do people handle repetitive patterns in practice? By extending Meson itself?

Cproc C Compiler
the only compiler i know that works differently is MSVC and it would be easier to just provide a wrapper that transforms POSIX-compatible compile command lines into ones that MSVC understands.
(this reminds me of the head-desk approach CMake takes to adding library dependencies: each library has a hardcoded configuration file, which can go as far as scanning your /usr/lib for libfoo.so rather than just assuming "-lfoo works, and if it doesn't, use $PKG_CONFIG --libs foo"...)
the author of cproc actually filed an issue report in 2019 pointing out this very fallacy, which is still open: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/5406
Would be nice to support it in Meson. Currently, there is work-in-progress TinyCC support [1].
