I think it's getting one now. A few years back I thought scons was going to die the same ignominious death as all previous autotools challengers; surprisingly, this did not happen. It's too soon to tell yet whether WAF will be seriously competitive, but I'm rather more optimistic than I would have been in (say) 2005. What's different today is that autotools has gotten to be a worse and worse tarpit over time. Thus, its challengers have a better competitive position today then they did back when they were less mature and autotools was less encrusted. -- <a href="http://www.catb.org/~esr/">Eric S.
