It seems to be a packaging system rather than a build system?

ie it's the equivalent to 'apt install libwhatever' so that you don't
need to go hunting around the internet to find the library.  That also means
that you can say 'my project needs libwhatever and libsomethingelse' and
you can make sure those are installed and with the right versions.

I may be wrong but I don't think they are telling you what language to use
or what compiler to run, although there's an obvious bias towards C.
