It’s a build tool, I’d be surprised if something like it worked well for non build related tasks. I suspect bazel would be equally verbose (if not even worse or impossible).

I think you’re better of using something like taskfile w/ earthly for a really good workflow, it gives you the best of both worlds.

(Actually I think I saw this on their slack)

Yeah, that was what I was doing in the prototype stage. But then I thought "why do we need two task runners? " and ended up just going with task files.

They sell it as a make replacement. Bazel constantly says "you don't need hazel, it is a big tool" and earthly does not. Which is fine.

Either way, I already said earthly is a great tool. This is just my feedback around why it doesnt fit my use case.

Ah sorry, that’s fair. We went the other way from having just taskfile to having both and it seems quite nice so far.

We may go back! Earthly is quite nice
