Python as in Scons? Otherwise I don't understand your comment.
Scons is effectively dead, and I wish people would start removing it from the Python build systems web pages. Meson is written in Python and isn't dead. However, Meson requires a partner to actually build things--something like cmake or ninja. However, I think the original poster meant "Why Lua instead of Python?" And the only real answer is "Because that's what the author wanted to use."
Looks cool, but is there a tl;dr for why I’d use this instead of something like Bazel?

I haven't compared it to bazel, but if you like the description style of xmake for the project or you like lua, you can try it.

You should definitely take a look at bazel. This is not say bazel is better than the one you wrote but cleary bazel is becoming a industry standard making other build tools obsolete.

Xmake has its own package management repository. https://github.com/xmake-io/xmake-repo And it also supports self-built distributed repositories and third-party repositories (e.g. vcpkg, conan, clib, homebrew). add_requires("libuv master", "ffmpeg", "zlib 1.20.*") add_requires("tbox >1.6.1", {optional = true, debug = true}) target("test") set_kind("shared") add_files("src/*.c") add_packages("libuv", "ffmpeg", "tbox",…
yaourt xmake
Yaourt is no longer actively maintained and poses security risks. Just linking to the AUR package is usually enough.

Just as a heads up, you should probably remove the yaourt xmake section of the install section (the Arch Linux instructions). Yaourt is no longer actively maintained and poses security risks. Just linking to the AUR package is usually enough.
