Just: Just a Command Runner
> The point is that there's often no way way to express "I want side effects" in declarative tools, and the number of side effects that might be useful is vast.
Shake (https://shakebuild.com/) is pretty good about letting you specify that a specific step produces multiple artifacts.
I suspect Nix can do the same?
> Some other systems (e.g. bazel/blaze comes to mind) actively try to hide side effects like stdout.
Yes, blaze isn't all that great. You can tell, because Google folks check in generated artifacts into their repositories, instead of wrestling with getting blaze to build them.

Ninja is enough build system
Another interesting implementation is Shake: https://shakebuild.com/
It is technically a Haskell DSL, but supports Ninja files, time estimates and has tools for linting and profiling.

Buck2: Our open source build system
They explicitly refer to Shake build system and Build Systems a la Carte paper.

Straightforward Makefile Tutorial that bring together best practices once and for all.
The one paper that gave me hope about build systems was Build systems à la carte: Theory and practice, by Andrey Mokhov, Neil Mitchell, and Simon Peyton Jones. Among other things, it describes the theoretical underpinnings of the Shake build system. To be honest I believe any build system that ignores the maths described in this paper can safely be ignored. (You may however ignore the paper itself if the maths checks out. See Daniel J. Bernstein's redo, which matches Shake very closely.)

Worst language you ever used? Really used not just looked at the manual.
Yeah, they don't have to be terrible. I haven't used it, but people in my circles tend to really like Shake, which uses a Haskell embedded DSL to describe builds.

Overview of the CMake controversy, and break down the pros and cons of the critical C++ tool.
Shake does require compilation as it's essentially just a Haskell library providing a DSL and it works just fine, I guess in gradle's case it's a thing about Java-typical overengineering and complete blindness to resource usage. Shake's underlying engine can actually go head-to-head with ninja itself when building ninja files.
