				I'd say that its a very important part. I mean you don't have much use of s programming language with hardly any features but an awesome build system!
 
 But then, I've hardly used anything that requires building/compiling so yeah.

 Someone makes a great library and you just have the tool download it

What makes a good programming language isn't its features, but its build system.
Shit tooling makes for shitty development every time.
