Makefiles are quite unpopular in the dynamic languages world. Some Python and JavaScript developers consider GNU make an ancient, deprecated, outdated, and dying tool, used by some dinosaurs. The truth is: make is a wonderful and often misunderstood tool. It is fairly simple yet very powerful. Hell, source-based Linux distros and BSD operating systems heavily rely on make. There are many application for Makefiles outside of C/C++ world, and I think that make deserves more attention and love.
