Reminds me of `just`. I love `just`. (Although I've never used make...)

The problem of `just` is that it does not consider `mtime`, which makes it almost useless in my case. I do hate the quirky syntax of `make`, however, it does a great job of not repeating itself if files have not been changed.

Well I don't think "just" is a build tool. It doesn't consider mtime because it has no reason to.

I looked through just again and it seems like a nice design, a little complex but powerful :) I might start using it.

Edit: played with just and got confused about how it works. Not going to use it just yet.

I use it as a little dictionary of commonly used commands in my git repos.

No more remembering commands to build a release or deploy a docker image. Now it's 'just release' and 'just deploy'.

Thanks for the hint, I didn't know about this project; will check it out.
