Show HN: Kindler: A declarative, Lua-based, build system (setsunasoftware.com)
2 points by ThatGuyRaion 138 days ago
Hey HN.

I created a purely declarative build system (currently running on Unix-likes including GNU/Linux, NetBSD, IRIX, with experimental support for FreeBSD).

It's not intended to replace other build systems. This was a fun project involving learning Lua and creating something materially useful to me.

Now I'm respectfully ready for all potential reactions. Good, bad, critical, WHY DOES THIS EXIST?

I tried to get my docs in order first before posting.

Thank you!
