Meson still won't have user defined functions, and gives a bad excuse:

> Meson does not currently support user-defined functions or methods. The addition of user-defined functions would make Meson Turing-complete which would make it harder to reason about and more difficult to integrate with tools like IDEs.

No, user-defined functions won't make Meson Turing-complete as long as recursion is not allowed.

User defined functions make it easier to encapsulate complicated build logic and reuse it.
