- mbostock 14y agoYep! I wrote about Make because it's what I use and it's the most ubiquitous. But aside from the section on syntax, the post applies to nearly any build system. (And as another poster mentioned, other build systems might offer advantages over GNU Make, such as using content hashes instead of modification times, or more elegant syntax.)
