TBH, I never heard of Waf before. It looks interesting.

Buck, Waf, Meson, Bazel....apparently Python is the language for next-gen hash-based build tools :)

Buck is primarily Java, just sayin'

But the syntax of your build files is Pythonish.

Just like Make is in C and the build files are in Make.
