Sure, but we're often making sparing use of what make has to offer, like the pattern rules. I think that's okay, but it is also a reminder that perhaps there is room for a similar tool that can support patterns and built-in mechanisms that are more useful to today's languages. Rust and Go in particular. I think there is a huge difference between implementing logic in bash and invoking programs using shell syntax. I am aware of the fact that a lot of people used to put shell script beyond simple invocations in Makefiles, but I see that as a degenerate case. You shouldn't do that.
