Xmake: A cross-platform build utility based on Lua

I think a syntax example on the homepage would be a good idea. Also comparison charts for things like cmake, ninja, meson, and bazel. If you have a dependency finding strategy, highlight the pros and cons of that. Basically the only reason states for why I should use this is lua, and that’s not inherently compelling to me for build tooling.

At my work we use MSBuild and vcpkg. What would a transition from that to XMake be like?
