Interesting choice to use just
- mtndew4brkfst 1y agoIt has both a justfile and a makefile at the root, even. Most of us seem to want to use it to throw make away entirely. That said, I consider `just` very language-agnostic and useful because of that, and I consider mix pretty bad at any workflow needs that isn't directly concerned with BEAM.
- MangoToupe 1y agoI think it's hard for me to name better software than make. TeX, maybe? that seems like an insanely high bar to clear.
- mtndew4brkfst 1y agoI would say there's an ocean of software with better UX than those two, so it all comes down to what axis you measure on.
- zamalek 1y agoIt's not technically a make replacement (make does do things like incremental build management etc.), but it just goes to show how bad the DX of make is.
- 0x457 1y agoIMO 'just' replaces make where make shouldn't be used - generic task runner.
- nesarkvechnep 1y agoCorrect. Make should be used with the filesystem, minimising PHONY.
- keeganpoppen 1y agoi'm a pretty big fan of just, personally, but do not consider that to be the world's most well-considered position by any means...
