Only tangentially related, I'm personally intrigued by redo, but have never had a good justification for trying it out.
It looks eminently reasonable to me, and Avery Pennarun plus DJB sounds like a majorly winning team to me.

- ncmncm 5y agoRedo has a conceptual cleanliness that other systems lack. But maybe it should emit a ninja script instead of building directly.
- wscott 5y agoI love build systems and have tried many of them. Redo is fun to play with. It is really easy to understand. There is some messy reality that causes redo the struggle. For instance it doesn't natively support a single command that produces multiple build targets. You end up needing workarounds. I also find that redo starts to feel like Rails where your logic is spread around is many little files. Each file is easy to understand, but it takes a while to build the full picture.
- NateEag 5y agoThat's interesting. Thanks for the info!
