I feel that a lot of the trouble with b2 (it would be helpful to mention that it is also called bjam?) is the syntax - I find it truly bizarre.
You're not the only one who feels that way!
Would you prefer Python instead - when Python port is ready?
Well, personally, I prefer not to have to learn a new build system if I don't have to. So my first stance would be: what's wrong with cmake, for example? In truth, my only contact with bjam is building Boost for Debian. Over the years, I've made my peace with it. Though I have trouble writing a bjam file, I really don't have the need to do so. Thus, ultimately, I am fine with the status quo. -Steve
