Make Your Build Better with Mage

• zalmoxes 9y ago
  As a makefile pragmatist (they’re awful but easy to get started with/most know them) I’m debating between mage and Bazel. I like mage because it would eliminate a lot of make and bash silliness, but I also want to get into Bazel because of all the things it promises.

  Seems a decent approach for people already up to speed on Go language/tooling idioms. Bash is definitely archaic, but personally I find it fairly sane and productive despite that. There's tolerable archaic and there's run-for-the-hills archaic. Speaking of the latter, it's aversion to the ordeal that is getting anything done in the Windows Batch language (cmd.exe) that would drive me to seek out a nonstandard tool like mage.
