Any reason you chose to use mk over (GNU) Make?

  Mostly just the simpler syntax. I always found makefiles a bit off-putting. On the other hand, the syntax for mkfiles, especially with rc as the mk shell, feels slick and homely.

    > feels slick and homely. I presume “homely” is this context means UK “familiar and pleasant, as in a home”, and not US “not attractive or good-looking”.

      Hah, I forget the American meaning of that word. Indeed “homely” as in “the last homely house east of the sea”.
