Not even that; this doesn't seem to implement any of make's core features, so it's not actually a replacement for make. It's a replacement for shell scripts.

(And no, I don't buy that the comparison is apt because some people use make as a command runner. Sure, they do, sometimes, but that doesn't mean jeeves is a make replacement. It's not.)
