I think this is neat! Love the cute lil' characters, and I believe that simplified build systems are still fertile ground. Filtering and deriving from collections will be essential for larger projects.

Bit early for this sort of nit-picking, but that will need to be either a.) an escaped and quoted list or b.) an argv array that doesn't undergo word-splitting.
Bonus consideration: What if the user's shell isn't sh? Perhaps it's out of scope (ie. this shouldn't support every use case of Make), but for what it's worth, they support all sorts of recipe interpreters.
- mattsan 3y agoThank you! Re. a), b); I will probably add a "spread operator" syntax or something for collections. Maybe different symbols for the different types. Once I start prototyping I'll choose whatever is the least burden on the user (both in learning, comprehension, and in practice). Re. different shells, I have yet to experiment - simple as! When I write the code I'll spot the challenges. Obviously I'd like it to support everything, but I have no clue as to what the implications would be.
