What does make have that just is missing? I have only dipped my toe into just, but it seems like a more-or-less superset of functionality. Plus, all sorts of niceties: built-in functions (path manipulation!), ability to declare scripting languages, self-documenting through `--list`, etc. Quite a lot of natural feature evolution if make was not forever frozen in time by the POSIX standard.
