It seems like this was built years ago but only posted now. Why post it now? It doesn’t seem like it has changed much in 4 years so I can’t see that it matured or stabilized over that time. I am sorry for my ignorance of c build systems, this very well might be in high use already. Either way, it looks useful and built by hand so good job! Looks great and I hope people find it useful!

I recently added a Ninja backend and a users guide and thought this might be helpful for a lot of people. It was pretty stable over the years. I have a few features on my todo list which I will implement as needed, and I recently completed my LeanDoc document language and migrated most of my specifications, which sparked further activities.

Apparently a explanatory document has been extended in a recent commit [1]. Maybe the project is waking up.
