Your first sentence says:
> just is a command runner, not a build system
And then you go ahead and complain that it is poor at building.
If you need a build tool, don't use just. Use make or something else. The purpose of just is to stop putting non-build stuff in Makefiles. And of course, it has a nice set of features that make doesn't.

I wasn't asserting whether it's true or not, just sharing my interpretation, as I'm not familiar with Just. > And then you go ahead and complain that it is poor at building. I did not "complain" I stated that incremental builds, regardless of whether Just has them or not, is one feature I personally like about Make. Going by the responses I received, Just does not appear to support incremental builds and a simple acknowledgement, minus the vitriol, would have sufficed.
