Seems like a great little tool.

Though it looks a bit too young for my taste: it's not available in most distro's base repositories yet, so it's going to be a tiny bit painful to deploy on every developer laptop, CI, and etc. I tend to prefer readily available tools like make, with 90% of the same features, but 100% distro coverage and previous developer knowledge.




Thankfully we have solved this issue by adopting nix for setting up developer machines/project setup on top of your OS's package manager of choice (OSX/Linux).

Additionally, you automatically get shell completion too! https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/3bb54189b0c8132752fff3...

As described in the README, avoiding the 'build' part from Makefiles cut unnecessary complexity like .PHONY targets, which improves clarity. In smaller teams/companies it makes sense IMO.
