I think make is too much of a write-only language, it's also hard to debug and autogenerators (automake) create makefiles that are just abhorrent.

- zaphar 8y agoIt's not Make's fault that autogenerated Makefiles are hard to read. The same is true of pretty any much language produced by autogenerated code. It is possible to write perfectly reasonable and debuggable Makefiles if you do it by hand.
