Make existed, people didn't like it, they came up with different build tools, now those tools are too numerous and too specific, now make doesn't look too bad!

Make existed, people didn't like it, they came up with different build tools, now those tools are too numerous and too specific, now make doesn't look too bad! Full circle indeed.
- kickingvegas 11y agoI despise Make, and yet I still use it because it ends up being the best "good enough for now" solution to put in place.
- dilap 11y agomake's not bad! most of the intended replacements have the surprising quality of actually being worse. two attempts to actually improve the state of the art i've found interesting are tup and (the various implementations of) redo. may be newer well-thought out stuff, too. ...but i'm blissfully unaware & unneeding of the latest make-tool developments these days, coding simple Go and obj-c stuff :)
