Or just use Rust. :3

Cargo handles makes with very simple TOML scripts, and it's the more modern language, to boot.

I've been planning to, but unfortunately it still lacks 128 bit float and decimal types, which I need.

You may be interested in this crate which adds decimal types https://crates.io/crates/rust_decimal. Here is another that I have not used but appears to add a f128 type https://crates.io/crates/f128.

Every time I start a little thing in C or C++ and I write a corresponding Makefile I get annoyed by it and write the thing in Rust. Cargo is really nice. I've considered using a Cargo.toml and build.rs file just to build C and C++ files before.
