Makefiles really surprised me when I took some time to really learn how to write them. It’s a very elegant language that feels more like a spreadsheet than normal coding.
Don’t judge me, but I think that the Makefile language is one of those that will make you a better programmer overall after learning it. Give it a try!
- Roboprog 8y agoI often miss “make”. I suspect if there were no such thing as MS WIndows, we would all (still) be using make, rather than each language having a handful of competing build tools. Code generation used to be trivial, as well, rather than having to write “plugins” in XML build tool N.
